History of Sheff. 


We have all known Sheff. as it stands to-day, the great 
department of a great University, but we have not far to 
look into the past to seea very different condition of things. 
Fifty years ago it did not exist at all. It first started 
in the laboratory of Professor Benjamin Silliman, Sr.,, 
where a small class met for instruction in chemistry. A 
few years later, namely, in 1847, the Corporation of the 
College, perceiving his success, created two professorships. 
They fitted up the old President’s house, which stood on the 
Campus, where Farnam now stands, as a laboratory, thus 
recognizing the “Department of Philosophy and the 
Arts,” as it was called, for the first time. It stood, how- 
ever, on a very insecure basis; there was little or no money 
in the treasury, what little there was being derived from 
tue tuition fees. The number of students, however, 
increasing, as the reputation of the school gained ground, 
it was deemed advisable to grant degrees, and accordingly, 
in ’52, the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy was for the 
first time given to the outgoing class. This fact, never- 
theless, did not mean that the School was now on a firm 
footing. Far from it. It was still without endowment 
and forced to depend entirely upon the tuition fees for its 
support. Its quarters were most unsuitable and inadequate, 
and the professors and instructors received in return for 
their services but the merest pittance. 

In 1860 matters took a change for the better. Mr. Joseph 
E. Sheffield becoming interested in the School, bought 
what we now call Sheffield Hall from the Medical Depart- 
ment, refitted it and presented it to the School, and to this 
most generous gift he shortly afterwards added an endow- 
ment of fifty thousand dollars. In honor of him the name 
of the department was changed to the “ Sheffield Scientific 


14 Valen O2is: 


School,” and justly, for it is chiefly to his beneficence and 
generosity that it owes its present position. From this 
time on the growth has been continuous. The class of ’60 
contained six men, whereas we will probably graduate 
about one hundred; there were then two courses, whereas 
there are now seven. Thus we see how short the life of 
our Alma Mater has been. In half a century she has risen 
from non-existence or insignificance to the height, whence 
as we look around us on the similar schools of the coun- 
try, struggling to keep up with her, we can confidently say: 
“She stands alone, the oldest and by far the best.” 
Below is a list of the number of graduates by classes :

Freshman Year. 


Freshman year! To most of us the memory of these 
months is but a hazy dream, and yet the years since have 
been anything but slow in their flight. The terror of exam- 
inations and the mental antics of acertain instructor have 
been almost forgotten, and we now see only the pleasant 
side of it all. We entered, as a matter of course, with 
our hundred and thirty members as the largest class on 
record. What self-respecting class would fail to do this? 
Then, who among us but remembers that Thursday noon 
when, by special request of Prof. Brush, we followed 
Mac’s expansive checks to the Physics Lecture Room, and 
there listened to words of advice from the Director, besides 
learning from the only Apollo that Hyde Park had the day 
before been annexed to Chicago, and would they please 
change his address to the latter city. In the rush with the 
Juniors, which we won, we set an example to future Fresh 
men which would be to their benefit to follow. Here, per- 
haps, more than at any other time, we laid the foundations 
for friendships which have ripened into affection as the 
course continued, friendships, which are the happiest part of 
our college experience to look back upon, and which do not 
need renewing to make the more lasting, but dearer. 
Another event worthy of special notice, was, when return- 
ing from the Christmas recess we found it necessary to 
assert our independence in refusing to abide by the dicta- 
tions of a certain professor, and were so far successful that 
we not only gained our point, but received the apologies of 
the Faculty for the recitations lost. Since then this body 
has been very wary as to their treatment of us, and evi- 
dently realize that we are not to be bluffed. We must, how- 


16 Valew ous. 


ever, call a halt on this preamble, and begin again, follow- 
ing the beaten track of class histories. 


It was in June, 1888, that the class of ’92 was first heard 
of, and gave promise of making a name for itself both in 
ability and numbers. The following June it assumed defi- 
nite proportions, when about one hundred and fifty candi- 
dates for admission took their. final examinations. Owing 
to this large number and the limited facilities of Sheff., the 
standard of examinations was raised, and but one hundred 
and thirty were successful in having their names enrolled 
in the preliminary catalogue. This, nevertheless, was nine 
more than ’91 entered with, the largest previous class. We 
met in a body for the first time on Thursday, September 
roth, 1889, at noon, in the Physics Lecture Room, and 
enjoyed, as members of Yale University, Prof. Brush’s 
fatherly advice in regard to our future behavior. The 
‘divisions having been announced and the recitation 
schedules distributed, we were dismissed with mingled 
feelings of hope for the future and satisfaction for the 
present. On the previous evening a number of us were 
initiated into college customs by taking an active part in 
checking the Sophomores in their rush with ’93, on the 
Grammar School lot. Recitations began Thursday after- 
noon, and we were immediately plunged into the intrica- 
cies of those Freshman year studies which seemed to the 
average member of the class almost unconquerable. 


We now prepared for the crowning event of the week, and 
having found, borrowed or stolen some kind of an athletic 
costume, we met in front of South Sheff. on Saturday even- 
ing prepared to defend ourselves in the rush with the Jun- 
iors. Headed by the Seniors in their usual fantastic costumes 
we proceeded down Grove st. to Orange st. and then to Hum- 
phrey st., where we found the Juniors prepared to receive us. 
In the push rush which followed we had a decided advan- 
tage, after a well-fought struggle, and then both classes ad- 
journed to avacant lot near by. Here aring was formed for 
the wrestling, with several Seniors as judges. In this the 
former experience of ’91, and their knowledge of the abil- 





Class Book. .7 


ities of its members favored them and we were compelled 
to acknowledge ourselves defeated, but not until our repre- 
sentatives had proven themselves worthy opponents. In 
the feather-weight class, Hamlin, ’92, met Sturtevant, ’g1, 
and was thrown twice in four bouts, two being drawn. 
Blair, ’91, and Talcott, ’92, next wrestled in the light weight 
class. This was won by Blair, who finally secured a fall 
after the most scientific exhibition of the evening. In the 
middle-weight class, Gregory, ’91, concluded the matches 
by obtaining two falls from Ramsdell, ’92, who was some- 
what lighter. The usual exciting experiences were under- 
gone in the fence rush which followed, the honors being 
about evenly distributed. Linen dusters and overcoats were 
in great demand, and there was a noticeable number of 
colds in the classes on Monday morning. We now accus- 
tomed ourselves to the monotony of class room work, vary- 
ing it by taking an active interest in all University topics 
and by participating to a large extent in all Freshman 
athletics. 


McKeever was elected president of the Freshman Navy 
and also captain of the Sheff. crew. Inthe race which was 
rowed on the harbor Saturday, October sixth, we were 
beaten by ’93, over a two mile course, by about two lengths. 
Our crew rowed in the following order: Bow, G. E. Crump; 
horse. }-Valouey; No. 3, J. A. Gould; No. 4, CC, Zant- 
meecr oc, 5, U. i. Barbour; No.6, A. B. Graves; -No, 7, T. 
Denny; Stroke, I. C. McKeever. 


At a meeting of the class which was called shortly after- 
wards by McBride, ’91, Denny was elected president of the 
class, Graves vice-president, and Stokes secretary. Owsley 
was elected captain of the class eleven, Sheff. being further 
represented by Waring, Hamlin and Barbour. We were 
defeated by Harvard on November thirtieth, at the Field, 
by a score of 35 to Io. 


We were all very glad when the Christmas vacation came 
and for three weeks we enjoyed for the first time the 
pleasure of returning to our homes as Yale men. 


18 Yale ’92 S. 


On Washington’s Birthday we appeared with our class 
canes, selected by a committee composed of Hamlin, Towle 
and McVickar, and filled, as customary, the many places of 
amusement of which New Haven boasts. 


In music we were more than successful, being repre- 
sented by Towle on the University Banjo Club; Simmons 
and Woodward on the Second Glee Club, and Griggs, 
Hatch, Simmons, Warnick and Woodward on the Fresh- 
man Glee Club. ; 


As to the college papers, Gordon, Hamlin and Day were 
elected to the Mews, Hammond to the Courant, and Stokes 
to the Record. 


With the return of pleasant weather, we again devoted 
ourselves to athletics. Owsley was successful in obtaining 
the position of third base on the University nine, and H. 
T. Jackson acted as change catcher. Besides these, Every, 
Jackson and Hatch played on the Freshman nine, while 
several members of the class secured positions on the Mott 
Haven team. 


In our series with the Harvard Freshman nine we were 
quite unsuccessful, being defeated twice, once in Cam- 
bridge, on May 24th, by a score of eleven to seven, and 
again in New Haven, on June 14th, by a score of seven to 
nothing. 


We had the satisfaction, however, of seeing Harvard 
easily defeated both at New London and Springfield. The 
fact of losing the foot-ball game to Harvard during the 
previous Fall, after having won from Princeton, was all 
that prevented our seeing Yale carry off the triple cham- 
pionship during our first year. Altogether the year was 
most successful and enjoyable throughout, and was only 
marred by the sad death by drowning, on March 16th, of 
our beloved classmate, Jairus W. Kennen, whose upright 
character and manly bearing won the respect of all who 
knew him. WILBUR Fisk Day,. JR,

Junior Year. 


When assembled in the Fall at old Sheff. once more, we 
found that we numbered only 118 able-bodied men. Sev- 
eral had left us to chase the wary and elusive dollar 
through the fickle world; some had left for reasons best 
known to themselves (and the Faculty), and a few had 
come to join our ranks from ’gr. 


At that time we were of the unanimous opinion that our 
principal object in life was to paralyze the Freshmen. This 
was no new idea, of course; we knew that, but we thought 
we could spring a few innovations that would startle the 
civilized world. As for our success, I will not commit 
myself, but will simply refer you to the Freshmen. On the 
whole, I think we were very kind and considerate in our 
dealings with them, and with the exception of a little fun 
now and then, we tried to tutor them in a few things that 
monlasbe: Of benefit to,them in their college life. For 
instance, at Prokasky’s, it was no uncommon sight to see 
some proud ’93 man, with upturned nose, standing in the 
middle of the room, while several Juniors were persistently 
endeavoring to teach him how to drop a penny in the slot. 
The Freshmen could not always appreciate these studies in 
the laws of falling bodies, hydraulics and conic sections; 
they were too deep for them. They were a hard lot to 
please, anyway. While for us, when the time came to meet 
them at Humphrey street, in encouraging them by allow- 
ing them to win in the little game, we played our parts 
nobly and so well that the unsuspecting Freshmen never 
for a moment imagined that it was all done to humor them. 
But soon all these innocent sports pleased us no longer. 
We had become accustomed to souring on Freshmen, smok- 


20 Vale~ O23: 


ing pipes and speaking familiarly with Murray. Even 
“sioning”’ at Eddie’s had lost its novelty (but by no means. 
its charm). The progress of the foot-ball team absorbed 
our attention, and our hopes went up and down as the 
reports came from our Field or from Harvard. We feared 
the worst from Harvard, but we considered Princeton easy 
fruit. When, on the 23d of November, we met Harvard 
and lost to them, 12 to 6, though not entirely unlooked for, 
it was a terrible blow, which even yelling “First time in 
fifteen years” could not alleviate. On Thanksgiving Day, 
Princeton was easy, to be sure, but 32 to o was a little more 
than we had expected. In the Fall Regatta, ’93 won her 
race, and we were well represented in the boat by Pond, 
Gould and Graves. Early in the Fall, C. S. Towle was 
elected our class President, with E. L. Whittemore, Vice- 
President, and J. G. Sprague, Secretary and Treasurer. The 
Fall athletics over, and the interest and excitement some- 
what subsided, we began to have time to look about us in 
the class room, and nearness of the exams. rather infused 
into us a little ardor for work. All the Fall the Civils alone 
had the supreme happiness of working out of doors. Each 
day they would gaily meander out near the Observatory, 
drive several pegs in the earth, pull them out, and as gaily 
meander back. Their rough and hardy features tanned by 
sun and exposure, were in striking contrast with the pale 
and wan faces of the hard-working Selects. But all the 
Engineers found some trouble in following Prof. Clark 
through the dark, narrow, tortuous paths of Calculus. It 
was only by clasping each other’s hands and whispering 
soft words of encouragement to the weary ones, that we 
managed to get through at all. Prof. Clark was kind 
to us, too, and very considerate, often excusing our short- 
comings when even we didn’t have the nerve to expect it, 
though he did sometimes say that twenty a term was too 
much—(he was our class officer). 


The Selects played the part of the “wise men,” and 
studied the stars and heavens—from their books. Also 
spent much time and wind blowing in their bits of gas

pipe. And the Chemists—well, “I counted two and sev- 
enty stenches, all well defined, and several stinks.” At 
last, the exams. over and the usual number of conditions 
pinched, we separated for the holidays. Messrs. Woodward 
and Towle went with the Glee and Banjo Clubs on the 
Christmas trip. 


The Winter term, dull, as all Winter terms are, passed 
by quickly enough. The Prom. was, of course, a bright 
week on the term’s calendar, and we made our debut in the 
Armory with great success. The Mechanicals had their 
time made much more enjoyable by weekly visits to the 
New Haven Manufacturing shops, where they spoiled their 
jeans, had coat-tails chewed off in cog-wheels, and learned 
the difference between a monkey-wrench and a steam 
engine. The machine drawings made were marvels of art 
and neatness. We put in our good work now in the class 
room, as there were no, athletics, etc., to distract our atten- 
tion. Easter vacation—and the girls—passed by, and as 
Spring came.on, our attention was once more turned to 
base-ball, the crew and tennis. On the nine we were well 
represented by Jackson and Owsley. But the base-ball 
enthusiasm was so great in our class that the Varsity could 
not satisfy it, and three teams were organized, a Civil, 
Select and Mechanical. At the end of the season the Civils 
secured the pennant. These games created a great deal of 
interest throughout the class, and the exhibitions of ball 
playing given by the teams were simply marvelous. But 
the best, and by far the most popular part, was the celebra- 
tion which took place after each game. It was our honor to 
build the first bonfire on the Sheff. Campus, and right will- 
ing hands were found to scour the surroundings in search 
of loose boxes, fences, etc., to feed the flames. Many dusky 
forms were seen flitting from time to time from their place 
in the circle about the fire to the dark fence corner, where 
took place the “dispensation ’’—many forms more familiar 
in the class room than at such midnight revelries, who, 
evidently taking advantage of the darkness to conceal 
their identity, for once led the life of “ye bird.” In the

Senior Year. 


Senior year. Free and untrammeled, monarchs of all we 
survey. Many had looked forward to such a state of 
unalloyed bliss, but the realization was of course disap- 
pointing. 


We found the Juniors fresher than ever, and the Fresh- 
men who failed completely to recognize our exalted sta- 
tion, uprecedentedly verdant. 


On Wednesday, the 23d of September, we helped super- 
intend a tame rush at the Grammar School, and on the fol- 
lowing Saturday the class blossomed forth in all its glory. 
Armed with a brass band, torches, dusters, high hats and bif- 
fers, accompanied by a few sandless Juniors and frightened 
Freshmen to give zest to the occasion, we marched to the 
first zone of battle on Orange street. Having allowed ’94 
to walk around the streets for a minute or two, a ring was 
formed and Pres. Towle with his able assistants, Denny 
and Punderford, lost much valuable time, in keeping the 
crowd back and looking for falls. When a few were found 
and the shirt rush over, we began a zigzag march to Pro- 
kasky’s, where a keg of beer finished the evening and a 
good many of the class. 


About this time the faculty became very considerate 
toward a few of us, all who had failed to pass off their 
conditions being given a short vacation to recuperate and 
try again. 


On their return our number had dwindled to but 108, 
with the powers that be in favor of a still greater reduc- 
tion, nevertheless we are by a good margin the largest 


24 ValewO2 >: 


Sheff. class ever honored by having diplomas thrust upon 
them. 


In the fall our college life was enlivened by inter-course 
foot-ball games, the Selects setting Yale a noble example 
by winning, and Hamlin, cribbed from the college side, 
was acknowledged an artful dodger. 


On the Varsity team, F. E. Barbour was quarter-back, and 
for the second year made a brilliant record by his good 
judgment and coolness at critical moments. | His careful 
study of “foot-ball and the art of war,” undoubtedly assist- 
ed in his signaling and use of the triple formation, which 
completely demoralized both Harvard and Princeton; the 
former in ’91—(score) 1o-o, the latter in ’91—(score) 19-0, 
as might have been predicted. 


A little before the foot-ball season closed we were de- 
lighted to see ’93 at last win a boat-race, and feel sure that 
Pond did his share of the work. 


To give a glimpse of our literary ability we are ably 
represented on the Mews by Hamlin, Gordon and Day, 
making ’92 the only Sheff. class ever having three men on 
‘ that sparkling, be-lectured and amply remunerative daily. 


Hammond is on the Courant, which Prof. Beers has called 
the best periodical in Yale, possibly while under his own 
influence. Stokes, unfortunately, has resigned from the 
Record, so we cannot affirm as one of our predecessors that 
we are represented on all the journals except the Zzz. 


Graves, now a Special, is still pulling a lusty oar on the 
crew, and we hope will be among the first eight to reach 
the finish at New London, in June. 


Woodward is on the glee club; Towle is president of the 
banjo club, on which Ramsdell plays a guitar, and Beeson 
an instrument which is a cross between a piccolo and bass- 
viol, more vulgarly called Shepherd’s dog kennel. 


On the Mott Haven team, Hammond and Greene will 


again jump and ride in airy garments to the delight of the 
spectators. 





Class Book. 25 


During. the winter many of the class were found at New 
Haven’s social gatherings, the Arion, Postmen’s ball, and 
various masquerades being especially well patronized. 
The Civils, inspired by these delightful dances, promised 
us a swell affair at the Turn Verein, but one of the 
leading attractions was compelled to leave the city for 
about ten days, and the ball was given up. 


On Mondays at 12, from October to December, we assem- 
*bled in varying proportions, to listen to interesting lec- 
facecsin Military Science,’ by Lieut. Totten, and for a 
while really hoped to annihilate the impudent Chilians. 
Our military theses undoubtedly present a conglomeration 
of thought, study and confusion seldom found. 


Asa result of this course, by purely voluntary action, 
nearly the whole class under Captain Denny, manceuvred 
twice a week in the Armory. So there will probably be 
representatives from ‘92 for the “Bundle of arrows” as 
well as the “Olive Branch.” 


Shortly before Christmas, at a class meeting where good 
feeling was particularly noticeable, the following officers 
were elected: President, F. E. Barbour; Vice-President, 
Harsh: Sec. and Treas., Ramsdell. In February, another 
meeting was held to consider the wearing of caps and 
gowns, and a motion made to replace the triennial by a 
quadrennial. After a number of patriotic speeches the 
motion was withdrawn and caps and gowns referred toa 
committee to find out the sentiment of the class. 


A few preliminary lists on which Bailey and Cornwall 
figured prominently, having appeared, we finally found that 
37 of our number had received appointments, which is the 
largest number ever given and undoubtedly deserved. 


As we near the end of Senior year, the latest and best of 
Sheff’s buildings is rising in a massive pile’ As many 
more men can thus be accommodated, the Scientific School 
can continue its fine record of growthand will, before long, 


represent the largest and strongest of Yale’s departments.

And now our three years, short and happy ones, are 
nearly gone; the time has come when ’g2, like her prede- 
cessor, will pass on into the wide, wide world, and as aclass 
be known only by dim historical tradition. The days spent 
here have been most pleasant and let us hope profitable; as 
a body we have done little to be ashamed and much to be 
proud of. 


Let the memory of our Yale life be long kept green, and

of “When we were in Yale,” but half express the love

The building now in course of erection between North 
and South Sheffield Halls will be entirely devoted to the 
engineering courses; and, when completed, will offer 
advantages for experimental research second to no other 
institution of its kind in the country. 


The main building is to be a four-story brick structure, 
106x84 feet; also there will be a two-story extension, 35x50 
feet, and a boiler huuse, 40x50 feet. 


28 Valen O20: 


The basement of the main building will be a general 
mechanical engineering laboratory, having machinery in 
motion, testing apparatus, dynamos and hydraulic machin- 
ery. A steam engine laboratory will occupy the basement 
of the wing, and on the next floor there will be a collection 
of machinists’ tools and wood-working machinery. The 
first floor of the main building will be devoted to the 
mechanical engineers, where they will have their draught- 
ing, lecture and recitation rooms; the second story will 
contain the physical laboratories; the third, the draught- 
ing and recitation rooms of the civil engineers; and the 
fourth, two large halls for examinations. The estimated 
cost of the structure is $150,000.

Our fathers are business men toa large extent. Manu-

rest include an editor, broker, horticulturist, tailor, photo- 
grapher, druggist, army contractor and miner. It may 
seem strange that there are not more professional men rep- 
resented, but it is no doubt due to the comparatively short 
existence of Sheff.and the small size of the early classes.

‘* Blood will tell.” 


Once upon atime away back in the Archean era, billions 
of ages ago, as is incontrovertibly proved by 217 distinct 
layers of sediment at the mouth of the Mississippi, there 
existed a primordial protoplasmic germ; that germ was the 
beginning of what is now Telford. Starting with this 
established fact and following down the line of time, we 
find Caldwell’s starting point in the age of invertebrates, W. 
R. Coe’s in Lower Silurian, Ellsworth’s in Upper Silurian, 
and Sterlinge’s in the Devonian. Huttelmaier comes next 
with an ancestry beginning 6108 B. C. Manning traces his 
“to 2349 B. C., when Noah and his sons were J/Zanning the 
ark.” (We wish to state once more that we are not respon- 
sible for anything which appears in this book). Towle 
goes back to 800 A. D. Others who give accurate dates 
are Maloney, 907; Beeson, 1300; Sargent, 1400; H. P. Green, 
1452; Sprague, 1630; Bouton, 1635; Slade. 16335) Mecke 
1650; Harmar, 17th century; Gordon, 1750; Saunders, 1760. 
Winstandley relieves the monotony by saying, ‘“ Don’t give 
a darn about it, and have never tried to trace it.” Several of 
the old Adam and Eve origins are on our list at this point, 
but we decline to print them, in order to have this class 
book differ slightly from preceding ones. 

Hamlin says “ours is a modest race (for further partic- 
ulars see herd book).” F. E. Barbour traces his genealogy 
back to Joshua’s Long Day, when the family tree was lost 
in the shuffle. Harris says, “To the poet Wordsworth on 
father’s side, John Dryden on mother’s side.”’ This must be 
the reason why Harris took the select course. “Several 
centuries to the French Huguenots” (Hatch). “ Founding

of the House of Lancaster (Whittemore). “4000 years 
according to Brewer (Atha). “To Sir Jonathan Edwards” 
(Bunnell). Briggs, Kimbal, Knap and Weiser had relatives 
on that much crowded old ship, the Mayflower. “To Maxi- 
milian” (Simmons). “Far enough to believe in evolu- 
tion,’ Jackson. “To Oliver Cromwell” (Griggs and Day). 
Kountze has no ancestry. “To Robin Hood” (Boltwood). 
This is correct, we think, according to Grimm’s Law. 
Homans says, “One of the apes in the Garden of Eden.” 
Carrol claims descent from Charles Carrol, of Carrolton. 
Nelson comés from Admiral Nelson. Capt. Denny says, 
“To Anak (in the Bible), six fingers and six toes.” Zant- 
zinger refers to Darwin.” We are blooded in a slight 
degree, also, for Lesinsky can make out the King of Po- 
land, Stinislaus; Lesinsky, as a relative if he tries hard; 
Stokes claims Cedric, founder of the West Saxon King- 
dom, as an ancestor; William the Conqueror is responsible 
for several of us, and Maloney has a real Irish lord among 
his progenitors. Alexander comes from “ Alexander the 
Great,” of course, by the ricochet of history. Ethan Allen 
was a cousin of Hatch’s great-grandfather. (We havn't 
time to figure out the relationship). Beach had some great 
ancestors, but they are all dead now. Weiser thinks Napo- 
leon was in his line, and refers to Prof. Cameron. In short 
the blood of kings and conquerors, princes and politicians 
of every race and nation circulates in the veins of ’g2 S.

this reason, and because of ill health, accidents, etc., thirty- 
nine of our original number have been left behind. We 
have, however, picked up some of the unfortunates of pre- 
vious classes, and have been reinforced in other ways so 
that we now number one hundred and eight.

no better success. He then dropped into the Law School, 
but his stay there was also brief, and his whereabouts is 
now unknown. 


Stephen S. Thorn retired in the middle of Freshman year. 
He was distinguished as the man who had had the greatest 
number of cuts for so short a time, that had ever been in 
college.

JAIRUS WILLIAM KENNAN. 
Diep Marcu 16, 1890. 


Drowned, with Edwin Rowe, Jr., of the class of ’go, at 
the mouth of New Haven harbor. 


Although he had been with us but a short time, we 
had learned to respect him for his manly qualities.

Facts and Fiction. 


Not many of us have battled with the world in a busi- 
ness way. Seventy-three say “No.” Beach says, “ Yes; 
fighting cocks about five years—unprofitable.” Boltwood 
quaintly replies, ‘“ Yes, once bought a horse,— 


This horse was of supreme degree, 
At least no common steed was he; 
It was Ceesar’s Ponié.” 


Caldwell has built air castles; and Carrol has ““looked 
after spuds for five years.” Griggs engaged in business for 
experience instead of profit. We suppose the other fellow 
took the profits, although it would certainly take a foxy 
man to outwit Griggs. “ Was bottle washer for two months 
in the governor’s medicine foundry” (Hamlin). “ Farming 
and teaching” (Hunt). Lane taught school two years. 
Sessions has sold rabbits; Telford, Frankfurts, while pre- 
paring, and C. M. Williams has raised chickens and sold 
eggs to the family at 48 cents per dozen. ~Werdowous 
Kimball’s occupation would come under the head of profit- 
able business; he collected tickets once at a church fair. 


Fhe Hillhouse High School turned out fourtecnyor ae: 
eleven prepared at P. A.; tutoring assisted seven tareice.. 
St. Paul’s, five; Berkeley School, four; Chicago, Lawrence- 
ville, and Hopkins Grammar School, three each; Exeter, 
two; while the rest of the class prepared at more places 
than the committee had ever heard of. Previous to enter- 
ing Sheff., fifty-four of us disclaim having ever “ground.” 
Some are very emphatic in their reply, and use exclama- 
tion points, which are entirely unnecessary. ee 
however, have learned how to grind since entering. 








Class Book. 57 


Twenty-three of us are honest enough to admit that we 
couldn’t get along on natural ability alone. Hammond 
says, “No, a student.” We think this a good distinction. 
_ Stokes isn’t sure whether he was a grind or not. Stanley 
was not exactly a grind, but near it. “Yes, but kept my 
hair cut short” (Sterling); “Yes, and a greasy one, too” 
(Caldwell); Lane thinks it is needless to say, and Hunt is 
willing to leave it to others; Fray was a grind at trying to 
get a half holiday. 


Our favorite studies embrace a vast ranye of subjects. 
Mathematics receives twelve votes; History, two; Physics, 
Latin, Geography, Zodlogy, Human Nature, etc., one each. 
Entrance examinations were takenin New Haven by fifty- 
three of the class, Eleven took theirs at Chicago, nine at 
Andover, eight at New York, and four at St. Paul’s. The 
sum of the conditions “pinched” by the ninety-eight men 
who answered this question, is just ninety-eight. Forty- 
four, however, received none at all, while a select few 
(no pun intended) had to draw six each. 


In answer to the question, “ Why did you come to Yale?” 
fourteen say, “lo meet Reuben Miller IV.” ~Five are here 
because they chose tocome. Fourteen thought it the best 
place. Gould, Towle and Sessions came to study, which is 
Mery scommendable. “To be an athlete” (Keith); “On 
account of a natural born inclination”’ (Hatch); “To fuss” 
(Beeson); Kimball was “sent by mamma”; Ricketts 
wanted to acquire an education suitable for a future Presi- 
dent of the United States; “Because I could find no possi- 
ble reason for going anywhere else” (Walden); Jackson 
tersely remarks, “ Had to, or work”; Hammond wanted to 
enter ’92 S.,and Briggs came because it was his highest 
ambition to be an Alumnus of Yale; Winstandley says 
“Tt’s the onliest place on earth”; with patriotic fervor, Pond 
exclaims, “I am and always will bea Yale man”; Slade was 
sent to Sheff. in order to call on Prof. Brush—he has ful- 
filled his mission; Knapp had a strong desire to hear 
Adams flunk, Hamlin to hear orator Harris speak, and 


Fray to hear Verrill tell stories; ‘“‘’To cultivate a nerve like 
48 


58 SAE 9 oe 


Thomas’” (Meeker); “To pass three pleasant  years™ 
(Griggs and Day). We are sorry that two men in the class 
came because they had to. 


Forty-six of us had never entertained the idea of going 
elsewhere, but forty-one had. Some of the reasons for 
changing our minds were: “Home Rule” (Maloney); 
“ Because I liked de Yaleses” (Sessions); “I heard Miller 
was here.” Others say they grew wiser with age. Only 
nine regret their choice, and some of the reasons given 
are: “When I struck Zodélogy”’ (Boltwood); “ When I met 
Miller’; Kimball wanted an appointment to Annapolis, 
but couldn’t get it; Hamlin says, “ My only regret is hav- 
ing read a poem by Telford in the Courant.” 


To the question, “ Have you done anything toward pay- 
ing your way through college?” fifty-two say, “no.” Reily 
has done nothing but cash checks. McVickar is guilty of 
having made money out of Massey at poker. “ Judging 
from my bills, I should say I had” (Stokes.) Receipted 
bills are no doubt referred-to. Caldwell"Ssaya™ =) Gama. 
carrying checks over to Prof. Brush to the amount of $55 
per term,” but he forgets that little unaccountable always- 
present $5 for “laboratory fee.” Lane has tutored and 
worked during the summer, thereby earning one-half his - 
expenses, and Hunt has paid his entire way. Merrels 
carried a news route, and lately assisted in preparing state 
medical report. Weare grieved to hear that Sessionesran 
a rouge et noir bank. Jackson speaks of a certain $4 
which he made, but says it’s none of our business how he 
didit. “Was instrument man in city engineer’s office dur- 
ing three summer vacations, and made $938” . (Briggs). 
Gordon has accumulated about $250 in all, writing for 
News and New York World. Gignoux isn’t ashamed to say 
that he has always blacked his own shoes. Hamlin says 
he worked like a dog since Freshman year on Wews and is 
now cutting coupons. Goodhart claims to have taught a 
night school and edited a summer paper. Out of pure 
charity Slade has helped others through by allowing them 
to tutor him. Hammond kept away from Ike’s and got on 








Class Book. 59 


the Courant, and finally—the Class Book Com. has left Her- 
cules way behind in the matter of labor, and will probably 
clear five or ten dollars if it succeeds in disposing of the 
varied assortment of articles taken in payment for “ads.” 


As to the expense of our college course, so few have 
answered the question satisfactorily that an exact average 
of the different years cannot be given. Only forty-two 
men have kept an account; sixteen vote for Freshman and 
twenty-six for Junior year as the most costly. The aver- 
age expenses of nineteen men in Freshman year, eighteen 
in Junior, and thirty in Senior, are as follows: 


Freshman, . $1,230 
panior, ; 1,310 
Senior, | ; : 1,395 
Lowest fora single year, . 480 
Highest for a single year, Leche eetele 


Law mentions Junior year as more expensive than Fresh- 
man, because his needs grew with his intellect. Other rea- 
sons given are: “Small fortune on foot-ball games, and 
lost. (Graves). “Because I was ‘birdee’” (Baldwin). 
“Twas more popular” (Barnes). “ Had to hire P. Smith for 
three weeks to get me back to college” (Collins). Caldwell 
gives three good reasons, “Had to buy books, and bail 
more men out of the jug, and spent Easter vacation in 
New Haven.” Judging from paternal kicks, Jackson 
thinks Freshman was most expensive, as he paid his bills 
then,—$X worth. Winstandley considers the first week of 
Freshman year most costly. “Subscription Fiends”’ tells 
the story of many a poor bankrupt in Freshman year. 


Forty-three are on an allowance and twenty-seven are 
“not. In reply to the question, ‘How much more do you 
spend?” The answers are, “about double”; “ about $1,500”; 
“all I can get.” Adams has an allowance, but can’t spend 
it all. “Dollah five’ (Gould). And now, New Haven 
landladies, prepare to be roasted. The opinions in regard 
Ppmeeoordesate, poor, (8); ‘cheesy,’ (6); “rank,” (5); 
fe00076 (7)... fair, (4);“rotten,” (4); couldn’t be worse,” 


60 Vale g2 55. 


(3); “not worth the money ’; “worthless (3) “toetlecuss 
“very bum”; “not smooth”’; “fruit for Heubs. and Morys.” 
Beeson says he played tennis with the fish balls during 
Freshman year. 


Hammond lets himself loose as follows: “ Beef, tough; 
soup, watery; milk, chalky; butter, oleomargerine, etc. 
None deserves the name but “quick and dirty.” Beech 
says, “good, if I didn’t have to sit so near McVickar.”’ 
“It reminds me of the soap factory by the roadside,” 
(Caldwell); and our poetically-inclined classmate, Bolt- 
wood, sings: 

‘New Haven board, to them who know it not, 


No words can paint; and those who know it, 
Know all words are faint.” 


“Have traveled over the greater part of Europe and 
America, and have found nothing like it” (Weil). Knapp 
says, “It keeps your teeth sharp”; Hamlin owes too much 
to his landlady to express an opinion. Gould isn’t afraid 
to say “plane.” Woodward falls a few in our estimation by 
saying, “If you mean the Governing Board, I think they 
are guilty of too many mis(takes),” and explains the joke, | 
“ steaks.”

Athletics. 


Our athletic record is too well known already to need 
any comment in the class book. 


F. E. Barbour has been quarter-back on the Varsity foot- 
ball eleven for two years, Hamlin was a substitute Senior 
year. Gould is the only man, however, who has rowed on 
the Varsity crew. He was elected captain this year, but 
resigned, and is not now rowing. Owsley was on the Var- 
sity nine in Freshman year, and H. T. Jackson, who was 
substitute for two years, is now on the team. In Fresh- 
man year, Cheney, who is no longer with us, and Ham- 
mond were on the Mott Haven team, and the latter is still 
amember. Button was a member of the Varsity tug-of- 
war team. Our Freshman crew was composed of McKee- 
ver (capt.), Maloney, Denny, Gould, F. H. Barbour, Graves, 
Zantzinger and Crump, with Pierce as coxswain, but we 
failed to make a break in the long series of Academic vic- 
tories. Our representatives on the Freshman foot-ball 
eleven were Hamlin, Owsley, Beach, F. E. Barbour and 
Waring; and on the ball-nine Every, Owsley, H. T. Jack- 
son and Hatch, the first three of whom are no longer with 
us. Gignoux, Quinn, Crump and Button were on the 
Freshman tug-of-war, and Briggs and Wurts were substi- 
tutes. 


Thomas is our shining light on the cricket team. 
Seventy-two men say they are‘not athletes; fourteen 


claim to be. Maloney was “born an athlete,” and Riley is 
“a good runner in a fight.” 


After we attained the dignity of Juniors, we had many 
exciting course base-ball games, all of which had one long 


62 Vales oes: 


inning by fire-light, on the ‘Sheff, Campus.” ~Thesem 
base-ball team was made up of: H. H. Jackson (Capt.), 
Johnstone, Massey, Miller, Maloney, Fray, Nelson and 
Harsh. With these eight men they won the championship 
hands down. The captains of the other teams were: Bald- 
win, M. E., and Hatch, S.; but the names-of thegormes 
players are forever lost in the oblivion of Paul Weil’s beer. 

Forty men have never tried for any team, sixteen claim 
to have tried for some one, and the remainder do not say. 
Cornwall tried for the Glee Club, and Stokes says, “Oh, 
yes, but of course didn’t have to try very) harasses 
prizes are held as follows: Hammond, (4); Day, a few; 
Harmar, several; Atha, (2); Maloney, (2); Pond two tro- 
phies from crew races; Lesinsky, (1); Button, (1). Meek- 
er’s record should not be allowed to go unnoticed, as he 
made eight errors out of seven chances in one of the ball 
games. 


Two men have had broken arms; one, a sprained ankle; 
two, broken noses; and Huttelmaier says he has broken 
his funny bone, which accounts for his answer not being 
humerous. 


Thirty vote for foot-ball as their favorite sport; tennis 
comes second, with twelve; “doing Chapel ‘street Mhy 
Hamlin, Gignoux and Collins; sailing, rowing, running» 
bicycling, and base-ball have two each; boxing has one 
vote, and Reily says, Hamlin is his favorite athletic sport. 
As the votes for the favorite sport show, tennis has many 
followers. ‘ Day is the class champion in that sport, and 
no one has been able to touch him in Sheff. for three 
years. 


Twenty-three think our chances for winning the boat 
race are good; seventeen say they are very poor; Harris is 
too busy studying to settle it for us, and Ayres says that he 
1§= Nowproplict. ack Totten;” two are sure we will win, 
because we have a Sheff. man as captain; two agree with 
Caspar Whitney, which is about as clear an opinion as say- 
ing that if Harvard don’t win Yale will, and Wood insults 
us by asking if we are laying for bets. 





Class Book. 63 


Seventeen of our number have had some serious illness 
sincé we began our course. Of these, five have not. yet 
fully recovered. The total time lost has been three years, 
eleven months and four weeks. The attending physicians 
were Foster, (5); Russell, (3); Stevens, Ives, Family, Faith 
Cure, Cheney, Cook, Jarvis, Sage, Seaver, Skiff, and Father. 
Our diseases have been lagrippe, (7); complication, (3); 
everything (3); pneumonia, indigestion, diphtheria, water 
on knee, mumps, cholera morbus, jaundice, malaria, scarlet 
fever, bronchitis, sprained ankle, (whooping cough, mumps 
and chicken pox) by Manning the Boy Wonder; and blind 
staggers (Telford). Graves says, “I have had cold feet, 
but recovered, much to my surprise.” Stoddart lost three 
days trying to recover after a foot-ball victory. Winstandley 
has never been sick, although he has often tried; Boltwood 
suggests “drop a dollar in the slot and get a sick excuse.” 


The advice to take regular exercise, given us by Prof. 
Brewer, in Freshman year, has been followed by thirty 
members of our class. Ten of these, however, exercise no 
more than absolutely necessary. Our favorite forms are 
walking, (10); running, (7); bicycling, (4); rowing, .(3); 
walking Chapel street, (Boltwood, Huttelmaier, Mandel 
and Ayres); driving (Sessions); probably exercise for the 
horse; sleeping (Barnes); going to feed (Denny); licking 
Beach at pool (McVickar); grinding pine apples (Bron- 
son); chasing chippies (Hamlin). Winstandley’s is “ Dodg- 
ing into the back room and dropping out of the window 
every time the bell rings—its invigorating and regular.” 
Beeson says that he exercises three times a day (when 
he eats). 


We bathe, daily (9); when necessary (9); two times per 
week (6); once a week (3); three times a week (2); once a 
year (Caldwell, Winstandley and Carrol); much oftener 
than Stanley (Massey); whenever Beach is not in the tub 
(McVickar); none of your business (Stokes); after Verrill’s 
recitations (Beach); every time Ave. Gould goes to 
Geology (Jackson); before and after meals (Punderford); 
once in Winter because its cold, and twice in Summer 


64 Vale. O2is. 


because its warm (Baldwin). ‘Thirty-four of us use Pear’s 
soap. The following are reasons for not using it: “Sapolio 
is better” (Caldwell); “Too expensive, prefer sort soa 
(Ricketts and Punderford); ‘Dislike the odor—never use 
Pear’s, for ‘Soapine does it’” (Coe); ‘““Won’t float” (Good- 
hart, Jackson and Sessions); “Too mild” (Maloney); “To 
protect home industry” (H. P. Green); “Don 1 Wsaeeeae 
since we’ve quit Verrill). “ Yes, we need an infirmary ”; at 
least, forty-nine think so, against seven who do not. Jack- 
son and Gordon think that a Keeley Institute would be more 
appreciated; Gould wants a children’s home; “ An infirm- 
ary with a funnel shaped keyhole, a padded stairway and a 
running fountain of Apollinaris water would be highly 
beneficial to students suffering from dizziness or that tired 
feeling” (Hamlin). 





Class Book. 65 


Ghe Subscription Fiend. 


‘““The fear of you, and the dread of you, shall be upon every beast of 
the earth,” 


Our experiences have been somewhat varied, but in 
most cases they have been disagreeable. We have dreaded 
Butler more than any other member of his sect. Many of 
us were fortunate enough to escape the terrible foe. Some 
“were not at home”; seven acknowledge that they have 
had their legs pulled; “’The length of my legs tells the 
story better than I can” (Reily); “When a Freshman, I 
told a Zit. man to go plumb to h—; the only sandy act 
ieewerecid (Beeson); “On returning from a recitation, 
Freshman year, I found Butler seated in my easy chair, his 
feet on my desk, and smoking my meerschaum pipe; I gave 
him $5 for his nerve” (Sprague); “Was waylaid by a rob- 
ber, Freshman year, who buncoed me out of $3 for the 
Freshman crew; another Good Samaritan bled me $2 for 
the Boys’ Club” (Maloney); “ Had it stuck into me about a 
foot” (Caldwell); “Killed one and took his cheek for a 
catching glove” (Telford). Seventeen men have acted as 
subscription fiends. Six claim to have met with success, 
while eleven acknowledge themselves failures. ‘Was not 
successful because my stock smile wore out” (Hamlin); 
“Tried to canvass the class for Dwight Hall, but failed 
because I forgot to strike any one’”’ (Reily); “Pinched a 
fine line of autographs, but no ‘bood’” (Stanley); “Col- 
lected for a keg of beer at Otto’s, and got two dimes, three 
cents and four buttons” (Caldwell). 


The amounts of our subscriptions vary from “not a 
cent” to $20,000.00 (Wood). Five have subscribed more

70 Yale ’o2 8. 


A composite of ’92 5., would be a young man 21 years, 9 
months and 14 days old, 5 feet 8 inches in height and 
weighing 149 lbs. We would be able to give a full set of 
average measurements, but when Telford gives his chest 
measure as 1to2 inches, and Slade claims a 34 shoe and a 16 
in. calf, we think we have been played horse with. Many 
of the fellows have evidently thought that “exact weight ”’ 
included a full set of clothes and an overcoat; so in deter- 
mining who is the rightful possessor of smallest and 
largest measurements we have had to use our judgment to 
a certain extent, while averages have been out of the 
question. 


The youngest man is Manning, 18 years, 6 months, 10 
days, and the oldest, Hunt, 30 years, 1 month, 13 days. 


Sessions is our heavy weight (225), and Adams is short- 
est and lightest, height 5 feet 2 7-8 inches, weight 116 lbs. 


McVickar owns the biggest chest (43), and Gould the 
greatest 42 1-2; average chest measurement 36.6 mice 
Vickar’s calf measures 16 1-2 in. Gould and Gignoux, 
(16); Pearce and Barnes have 11 inch spindles. Other max- 
ima and minnima are, biceps, Gould (15); Merrels (9.7); 
gloves, Gignoux, Slade, Lane and Griggs (8 1-2); Baldwin 
and Warnick (6). 


We know Ramsdell tells the truth when he says his shoes 
are No. 10; Bunnell and Knapp claim No. 5. F. H. Barbour 
is our big-headed man and wears a 7 3-8 hat, but we doubt 
if that would fit Zantzinger. A number of men wear No. 
6 3-8. 


Our combined weight is 14,615 lbs., which would leave a 
net weight of about seven tons after deducting clothing. 
Total height is 549 feet 7 in., which gives about 500 feet if 
we take off 10 per cent. for mistakes in measurement.

ve Yale ’92 S. 


We study (?) with blue eyes (36); brown (21); black (7); 
gray (7); hazel (2); green (7); “creamy gray” (Jackson); 
“Nile green” (Boltwood); “green and yellow” (Homans); 
“beautiful brown” (Reily); “pea green in the mona 
and brown at night” (McVickar); “bluish, greenish yel- 
low” (Caldwell); “mauve” (Slade), and “heavenly blue” 
(Maloney). 


We comb brown hair (44); black (12); blond (6); red (4); 
yellow (2); “chocolate and curly” (Jackson); “green” 
(Weil); “soaked in tea’ (Denny); “bock beer iijsia am 
and “white” (Winstandley). McVickar says, “My hair is 
rapidly turning white from my effort to learn something 
from Starkweather.” 


We smell with straight noses (5); “pug” (Huttelmaier, 
H. P. Green, Gould, McVickar); pure Grecian (9); Roman 
(3); “latest style” (Lane); “Hebrew” (Briggs); “broken 
Roman” (Sessions); “roaming” (Manning); “not red” 
(Jackson); “not developed” (Griggs); “a la Augustus” 
(Boltwood); “retroussé” (Alexander); “ Louis XIV” (Bun- 
nell); “3 for 5c” (Beeson); “spongy” (Towle); Dpiuneson

immense” (Wurts); “mongrel” (Baldwin); “Bourbon 


Germanic” (Gignoux); “doric” (Hamlin); “Gotiiesamd 
peculiar to myself”? (Winstandley). 


We suffer from—“largeness where I sit down” (Stanley); 
“feet are not mates” (Boltwood); “left arm not as straight 
as it used to already once yet been” (Beeson); “pain in the 
face (Massey); “abnormally large brain.” (Reily); “too 
fat” (McVickar); “mustache lighter than hair” (Whitte- 
more); “ears are overgrown” (W. R. Coe); “one leg longer 
than the other, pulled by subscription fiends” (Hamlin); 
and “knock-kneed” (Collins). 


The statement of the Register in regard to our high 
standedness as a class seems confirmed by statistics. Out 





Class Book. 73 


of the thirty-six men who now use glasses, twenty-eight 
had their eyes more or less affected by study. Only forty- 
eight of us have sound eyes. We use them also for other 
things. Nine spring that venerable joke, “ For drinking pur- 
poses”; and many of the other answers are mere modifi- 
cations of that. Boltwood prefers them to drinking out of 
the bottle; Maloney says, “In order to hear better,” which 
is original, we think; Hamlin finds them convenient “for 
shifting bock.” 


Thirteen of us have mustaches which we consider suc- 
cesses; five admit that theirs are failures; while fourteen 
seem afraid to class theirs. Six claim to have had mus- 
taches, most of them admitting that they were unsuccess- 
ful. Stokes says that he has one, but requests us to wait 
until we see it; Griffing hopes to have one; Hamlin has 
one which he says tickles the ladies; “ Wore one at the 
Arion, and it was a great success” (Manning). Very few 
answers were received to the question, “Have you a 
beard?” ‘The committee remembers, however, that Pond 
had side-burns, and we are very sure that Nelson possessed 
a beard in the early Spring, but a vigilance committee 
from the civils waited upon him, and he now wears it no 
more. 


Frohlich is the favorite barber, although nineteen would 
rather shave themselves. Some say, as there are only two, 
they prefer Frank E. Every manin the class shaves except 
Gordon; the majority every other day, but Thomas and 
Beach use a razor only twice a month, and Merrels has only 
shaved twice. Knapp shaves “When they get in my 
teeth,” and Woodward has shaved “Ever since I was a 
little shaver”; Boltwood says, “It depends upon the 
wind”; and Reily, “It sounds rather paradoxical, but I 
shave when I am not shaved”’; Jackson, “ When I need 
punishment for my sins”; Stokes, “ Whenever my whiskers 
bother me”; Ricketts, ““When I have the price”: W. E. 
Coe, “ When the wind blows”; Griffing, “ When the people 
mikeapour- the. wind,. etc.’; Harmar, “Every thirteen 
days”; Sprague, “ When I find a dime”; Stoddart shaves 


53

all the time: Mé@Vickar, “ As often as I can get my razor 
from Beach”; Graves is the only one who shaves every 
morning (he didn’t state the time); Whittemore, “ When 
she says, ‘You make my face red’”; Stanley and C. M. 
Williams shave occasionally, and Coe, ‘“‘ When the fellows 
laush at més Youmans. Quite often”; Punderford, 
“thrice a week,” and Gignoux, ‘When too poor to gotoa 
barber”; Adams only “ When I need it.” 


The favorite tailor is Corbin (23). A number would 
rather go to New York, Brokaw Bros., Brooks, and Cay- 
anagh, Sandford & Co. being selected. Sterling goes to 
Bridgeport, and Saunders to Hartford. Lane chooses Dunc. 
Elsworth, and Bouton has none. Hammond believes in the 
“cheapest and best,” and Beach, “ Anyone that gives tick.” 


For hats, Brooks (29) leads, with Knox second (15). 
Hamlin imports his from Tress, London, while Kimball 
thinks Bump is about right; Hatch, anyone except 
Brooks; and Gignoux, “ Brooks, my friend.” 


Terpsichore has many patrons in ’92 S. Sixty-six of 
those who answered the question, dance. Stanley tries to. 
Favorite dance is the waltz, with 38 votes; two-step, 11; 
six admire the skirt dance; schottische, polka and kanga- 
roo receive each one vote. W. E. Coe and Huttelmaier 
prefer the still waltz. The can-can has two supporters 
in Reily and H. P. Green. St. Vitus is Slades favors 
and Jackson and Gould do “de pivot.” Fifty-three have 
no objections, “except when some one else is dancing with 
her,” (Reily), and our star tripper, Collins, thinks the girls 
don’t dance well enough. 


We learned in all sorts of places, the usual number at 
dancing school. Hamlin says, “ At home under the inspir- 
ing influence of mother’s slipper.” Griggs had the good 
luck to learn outside of New Haven. Loomis’ Temple of 
Music has the honor of having turned out Collins. Ayres 
and Slade received their education in this line at Germa- 
nia Hall, and Massey owes his instruction to Turne Hall. 
We envy Nelson, who learned at a young ladies’ seminary. 





Class Book. 75 


We have to record thirty-nine yeas for the last part of 
question 14, “Ever attend the Arion?” Some of the 
answers are, “Lots of times,” (Huttelmaier); “Twice with 
both feet,” (Law); Caldwell is truthful as to the fact, he 
says, “I got in there once by mistake;”’ Jackson dropped in 
to try and persuade Massey to go home. Reily must have 
attended, as he says he is ashamed to say; “Not tough 
enough,” (Nelson); he doesn’t say which, but those who 
know him well will understand. 


The theater is patronized frequently by sixty-one mem- 
bers of the class. Twenty-three attend moderately. Hy- 
perion is the favorite, (49); Grand Opera House (27); 
Caldwell is undecided between the Hyperion and Bell’s 
Dime Museum, but Fray prefers the latter. The State 
Street Horse Show is honored with Jackson’s vote. Votes 
for favorite actress are: Ada Rehan, (17); Lilian Russell, 
(9); Sara Bernhardt, (8); May Howard, (5). Favorite 
actor: Booth, (16); Jefferson, (13); Wilson, (5); and Dennis 
James Maloney, (3). “The Merchant of Venice” receives 
g votes for favorite play; Senator, (4); Night Owls, (3); 
LaCigale, (3); Henrietta, (3). For opera, Robin Hood, (10); 
Erminie, (5); and Lohengrin, (4). Objections to theatre 
Pomorate. A waste of time;”’ “Liable to be morally 
debasing;” “ No objection if not oftener than once a year;” 
No objection if allowed to remain to the end, and to 
leave unassisted”? (Whittemore). Griffing objects to the 
number of poor shows allowed to impose on the public, 
and Beeson says, “Yes, don’t like to cough up $1 fora 
seat,—just think of how many glasses of beer that would 
buy !”’ 


76 Vale 02S: 


Favorite Musie and Musical Instruments. 


Our tastes in the way of music and musical instruments 
.seem to be pretty well scattered. Briggs, Simmons and 
Baldwin like vocal music the best, but Beeson, Telford and 
Barnes are best pleased by Wagner. Woodward would 
like to play “those wind instruments like Hunt.” Quinn 
says that the guitar is his favorite instrument, and Will- 
iams likes “stringed orchestras.” Laneenjoys that one which 
is soft and sweet. Caldwell, the “hand organ.” Walden 
thinks the sound of “the Sheff. bell at the close of recita- 
tions,” is very sweet. F. H. Barbour has never heard any- 
thing to equal a “full orchestra.” Kimball thinks “ehin 
music” is most pleasing. Beach, Punderford, Graves and 
Atha enjoy “brass band” music. Hatch likes male quar- 
tets, and Mandell is happiest when listening to “the kind 
that makes the ladies weep.” Meeker thinks instrumental 
music the most entertaining, Towle likes the “banjo and 
organ” quite well, and Weiser says, “ I don’t think.” 





How We Sing. 


Forty-one of us sing, four try, while the rest are not 
musically inclined. Ayres sings in’ “self-defense. sana 
Woodward when he wants to be alone; Denny is afraid of 
being shot; Hamlin is “like a bird,” but Reily has been 
“brought up to have a Christian regard for his fellow 
beings”; W. E. Coe will “sing by request”; Stanley has 
“howled a few:to be social”; Hi 2H. Jackson cans sae 
and is willing to back it,” while F. E. Barbour “ will smoke 
a stove to uphold his reputation”; Ricketts tellsmigmenae 
“the Glee Club management says not”; Beeson “sing’s so 





Class Book. 77 


as not to be alone in the cats’ play at night”; Hammond 
uses “hymns to see how much other people can stand”; 
Maher sings “drum and church music”; Bunnell sings 
“that other people may appreciate good music”; Knapp 
“will sing if you will promise to listen,” but Graves only 
Sion pay ; Wcith “is like a bird because he can’t help it”’; 
Manning says he does sing, but other people don’t think so; 
Simmons sings ‘because it passes the time pleasantly,” 
and Telford for “ pure cussedness”’; Barnes sings “because 
other people object,” while Huttelmaier only “to drown out 
tie tiend tiext door”; Carrol sings “because he is built 
that way ” (he evidently refers to his name); Williams “ to 
clear the room ”’; Whittemore’s “family objects’; Baldwin 
says he sings “because he loves sweet concords of 
sounds,’ and Sterling does it “beautifully,” while Coe 
only at “religious meetings”; Winstandley thinks music 
pmo is. “forte,”

What We Play. 


Thirteen of us play the banjo, ten the ouitar/janesas 
the piano, while twenty-four plead “not guilty ’”—Denny 
with an emphatic “No, sir,” and Caldwell says, ‘‘not even 
ajew's-harp.” Sixteen do not consider this question worth 
an answer. Sessions plays a piano, cornet, banjo, organ 
organette, alto horn, etc. F. E. Barbour is skilled on the 
jew’s-harp, hurdy-gurdy, hand-organ, organette, banjo and 
music box. Beeson plays the guitar, banjo, piano, cello- 
guitar, bass-viol, mouth organ, flute and everything that 
is bass. Sterling exerts his efforts towards the piano, 
jew’s-harp, drum, triangle, clappers, tin horn, etc., while 
Punderford is content with a drum, fife, comb, harmonica, 
jew’s-harp and other classicalinstruments. Hunt, in addi- 
tion to baritone and alto, B flat, bass and trombone flute, 
plays the organ, bass-viol, auto-harp and cornet. Knapp, 
Gould and Baldwin are entranced with the sweet strains 
of the hand-organ, while Graves cares for nothing but the 
jew’s-harp. We are much relieved to hear that, although 
Winstandley used to play the bass-drum when a kid, he has 
since given it up. Reily says that he is skilled on all 
wind instruments. F. H. Barbour plays at the guitar, and 
Bunnell is enraptured with his violin. | 





Musical Organizations. 


Nineteen of us have been members of musical organiza- 
tions, thirty-seven have not, and the others are silent on this 
question. Briggs, Griggs, Hamlin and Hatch were on the 
Freshman glee clubs; Saunders, both the Freshman and 2d 
glee clubs; Lesinsky, the 2d and Varsity; while -Wood- 
ward was on all three. Beeson, Manning and Towle were 





Class Book. 79 


on the Banjo Club, and Simons both played and sang, 
being on the Freshman Glee Club, 2d Glee Club and the 
2d Banjo Club. Denny developed his musical ability on 
the Chamber Concert Committee, and Maher in: Prof. Has- 
tings’ class. Jackson was a member of the Civil Quartette. 
Cornwall never belonged to a college organization, but 
sang for the Gounod. Hunt, likewise, although a member 
of no college organization, belonged to two city clubs, 
while Wurts states that he played the guitar on an out-of- 
sight banjo club. 


Society as We Have Found It. 


About half the class say they have never been in New 
Haven society. Those who have been in it the longest 
seem to like it the best. 

Day has been in it continually, and finds it out of sight 
when in the swim. Wood says, “ Dead in it—very smooth”; 
Keith, on the other hand, “don’t horse for it at all.” It is 
“dead swell,’ in Denny’s opinion; Collins doesn’t like it 
from what he has seen at dances on Church street. “As 
little as possible, my opinion is also as little as possible,” 
(Hamlin); “ From the Creme de la Creme to the bottom of 
the pail,—too slow,” (F. E. Barbour). Boltwood “had some 
lemonade on Prexy.,” thinks there are too many quater- 
nary fossils. Coe occasionally visits the skeletons in Pea- 
body Museum. “Too many small pieces of wood,” (Man- 
ning). 





Our Opinions of New haven Girls. 


The girls win. Out of a direct aye and nay vote, fifteen 
say they are “queens”; seven, some are “smooth”; while 
three alone say that they are “not in it”; “Those beyond 


80 VGlEmO 2S: 


college influences are far superior to those who are not” 
(Maloney); “ Fifty-two queens in every pack” (Harmar); 
“Have not affected me very much” (Hunt); “Good forthe 
blind: to look at” (Beeson); “Sehr schon (Graweae 
“Their faces should be turned to the wall” (Griffing). 





Do We Play Cards? 


Only seventy-seven, and we vote for games as follows: 
whist (27); poker (15); old maid (6); cribbage (4); euchre 
(3); solitaire: (2); baccarat (2); hearts (1). ke1;mmee = 
baccarat “because the Prince plays it.” There are very 
few objections, and most of these are “when connected 
with gambling.” Maloney says, “ No, except when playing 
with Kimball.” Lesinsky has good reason for being 
opposed to cards, as he saw a man killed over a game in 
New Mexico. Some experiences are: “Locked out one 
night on account of too late attendance at vingt-et-un ” 
(Gordon); “A man opposite me said he had two pairs, but 
_ they were all trays” (Cornwall); Hamlin won $1.25 from 
Ike; for some unknown reason, Winstandley objects to 
having cards mentioned to him; “ Was banker once, and 
couldn’t pay up after the game” (Collins); “ Lost the only 
socks I ever durned” (Beeson); and Hammond explains 
briefly, “Four sevens vs. four jacks—that’s all.” 





Our Vices. 


If the answers received on this subject are correct; we 
are quite a model class. Only forty-five men smoke; the 
same number drink (4, H, O); twenty-eight gamble (one 





Class Book. 81 


on the green); twenty flirt; thirty-two swear, and only ten 
aye other vices besides these. Sessions says, ‘‘ Yes, all, 
cela vas sans dire (cribbed).” After a large number of 
denials, Reily explains: “I am an ex-deacon and a good 
extemporaneous liar”; “ None but drink; ask other people 
if I swear” (Caldwell). There are several civils, however, 
who were greatly surprised at some remarks Caldwell 
made when he found he would have to scratch two rows of 
rivets off his tracing paper. 


Very tew attempt to sive reasons for their sins. ‘Three 
commit them for the pleasure it brings; one swears “ for 
telief ”’; one because he can’t help it, and another because 
he attended Prof. Verrill’s Zoélogy lecture. 


Beer is the favorite drink, there being fourteen who pre- 
fer that beverage. Water receives six votes; milk and 
champagne three each; strong drinks, like whisky, ginger 
ale and cider, have only two supporters. The others are 
scattering,—hot chocolate, cocktail, apollinaris, circus lem- 
onade, ginger ale, Cal. rainbow, gin fizz, sherry flip and 
cambric tea. 


We have only two men in the criminal club, and one of 
these is merely honorary; but Day has been to the “cage.” 
No reasons are given except by the honorary member; he 
stole a lantern in front of new gym. Forty-two men have 
stolen signs. Slade has “appropriated a few”; Sprague 
holds the record for total number (58), and Nichols for 
highest number on a single night (17). 


Our attendance at the rushes, with the exception of the 
last, has been very poor; only eleven have taken part in 
all, and about twenty in Freshman or Junior. ‘The last, of 
course, was enjoyed the most. Nearly the whole class isin 
favor of keeping up the rushes. Hamlin says, “ Yes, old 
customs must not be abolished; what would the farmer do 
without the Freshman rains?” Most of us are in favor of 
hazing when not carried too far, but a few think it should 
be abolished.

Forty confess that they have used something besides 
their brain in passing examinations since entering Sheff. 
Of these fourteen do not believe in it; eleven do; and the 
rest do not say. Our favorite methods are cards (8); rollers 
(5); examination pads; written memory; and, “write it on 
my teeth” (Goodhart). Manning says, “I took ‘Strains in 
Structures’ to the board in my vest pocket once.” We sug- 
gest that he calculate the unit fiber strain in his vest 
due to such a load; the result would not only establish the 
reputation of his tailor, but also would be of great scien- — 
tific value. Beeson does not crib.. Here are sonieyoi ange 
methods, however, ‘rolls, cuffs, shirt, necktie, cards, hand- 
kerchief, pencils, pens, take in a pad, finger nails, shoes, 
watch case, blotter, ruler, etc.” Some avoid answering 
this question directly. Hamlin says, ‘You insulting 
thing, T1l dash my head in your face”; “ Wait until they 
give us our degrees and I will tell you” (Hammond); 
“cribbing 1s characteristic of a sneak” (Lane). 


Conditions have been pinched by forty-five of our num- 
ber; and eighteen have been suspended because of them. 
Eleven men have held too many conditions to mention; 
one has had thirteen; another twelve; another six; another 
five; three have had four; seven have had two; and eight 
have had one. Eleven members of our class have had the 
honor of interviewing the Faculty; but the answers in 
some cases, Beeson’s excepted, are so vague that we are 
unable to tell whether the introduction occurred at Dwight 
Hall or South Sheffield Hall.

‘‘ And these few precepts in thy memory 
See thou character.” 


Here is a large quantity of advice for those who may 
follow us; we think something will be found to suit 
every taste. “Carry an umbrella, wear pants and over- 
shoes, keep your shirt on, don’t let the Profs. bluff you, 
lick Harvard, sit on Princeton, isnore ‘Cornell, try ie.

the Courant, boom the Mott Haven team, and love Yale,” 
(Hammond); Hamlin waxes windy at this point, but it has 
to go: “Get on all the college papers except the Courant; 
play on all the athletic teams, pinching the captaincies if 
convenient; swipe a deaconship, going on drunks after 
dark only; also, you will find it pleasant to accept the 
presidency of one or both of the musical organizations; and 
an appointment, while not doing you any particular good, 
will tickle your vanity agreeably and serve to sooth the 
paternal heart strings to a monetary tendency; I would 
advise my son in prospecto, if he were coming here, to 
accept all these positions and any others which he might 
care to hold; they would insure a healthy activity of mind 
and body.” 

lakesthe|snap course, the Select, if you want to loaf 
and get an appointment” (Whittemore); ‘ Make all the 
friends possible; be pleasant to all and let studies be sec- 
ondary unless they will be of use in your future occupa- 
tion”’ (Day); “Come early but be careful not to stay late” 
(Griggs); “Never toy with Mr. Wheeler” (Collins); 
“Shoot all subscription fiends on sight” (Huttelmaier); 
“Emulate J. K. P.” (Punderford); Maloney has the credit 
of being the author of the following code: 

1. Mind your own business. 

2. Be agreeable but not familiar. 

3. Work well but not hard. 

4. Avoid the man who can talk of nothing but women. 

See vold) tne pastime of chippy hunting and ten cent 
dances. 

6. Endeavor to become acquainted with a few respect- 
able families. 

7. Keep out of debt and out of jail. 

8. Behave on the street as you would in your native 
town. 

9. Have confidence in the Lord and always remember 
that without his help you are not in the game. 

“ Never study, and cut as much as you please ” (Beach); 
“Don’t try to play horse with the faculty” (Walden); 
“Take the Select course if you want to have a good time, 


88 Viagle-O205: 


and don’t worry about your marks” (Alexander); “ Keep 
out of debt; study a reasonable amount and have a good 
time ” (F. E. Barbour); “Don’t be to much of a hermit” 
(Bouton); “ Maintain a fair rank, but do not bone yourself 
to death” (Lane); “ Don’t try to learn anything from the 
professors after Freshman year, but grind it out for your- 
self” (Nelson); “Take a moderate part in every form of 
college life” (Meeker); “Stay in nights, and don’t be a 
bum—it don’t pay” (Baldwin); Don’t be afraid to say 
‘no’” (Hunt); “ Don’t cut, but work hard,“1s thesadgiace 
of several men who have not a reputation for being 
grinds. 
In conclusion, Boltwood sings: 


‘“To those who are to come I'd say, 
Wait, oh wait till Verrill’s passed away!” 


A Few Opinions of Wée. 


Our opinions. of ’92 S. are not all flattering, WAwerear 
many think itis ne plus ultra. Maloney calls it, “A con- 
glomeration of inconsistencies, in which all that is good 
barely outweighs that which is not”; “Slow in business 
matters,” (Nichols and Cornwall); ‘finest, classsiaiauei 
way of brain and beauty that has ever been at Sheff.—l 
know it, for sketold me so. In fact, its superabundance of 
shining qualities can be fittingly summed up in the trite 
expression ‘out of sight,’ (or soon will be)” (Huttel- 
maier); ‘‘Permeated with Bunnellism,” (Griffing); “’g2 S. 
is a sandless, footless and nerveless class,’ is the awful as- 
sertion of some cynic. Telford considers us Yale’s great- 
est effort of 200 years. “Only one-.objection to ‘92 S., 
and that belongs to Selects only—have no sand, won’t 
take a cut, but wait ten minutes for a Prof. to come around; 
’91 too conceited; they are going to revolutionize the laws 





Class Book. 89 


of gravity, while ’92 will make her mark in the world, but 
does not aspire to interfere with any of the laws which 
(oa Mas made, (Beeson); “Cheesiest class- that ever 
entered Sheff. with one exception, ’91 S.” (Beach); “’g2 S. 
isa mighty fine crowd to turn out to any sporty event 
like the Senior rush, but devilishly afraid of scrapping 
for itself,—the comparison is fair,” (Baldwin); “Mainly 
composed of a lot of bums who would rather crib their 
way through than study, and call any one who studies 
half way decent, a grind,” (Bouton); “ Biggest, best, brain- 
iest class ever graduated from Sheff.” (Woodward); 
“About as sandless a class as was ever in college,” 
(Hatch); and so on and so forth. Several extravagant 
mathematical proportions are given to show the superiority 
of ’92 to ’91,but we have said enough. 


There is not a very heavy vote in the affirmative to the 
question, ‘Do you attend church?” Sixty-five men go, 
but many of them only occasionally. Griffing attends 
chapel during prom. week. Only four men have ever been 
deacons; six, including Slade, would like to be; Beeson 
feeee loess my-tace look like it?” Four or five attend 
regularly at Dwight Hall, and five are members of the 
Boy’s Club. On the whole a very poor showing for a class 
of over a hundred. 


It is hard to tell just how many states and territories 
have been visited by ’928., but sixteen members of the 
class have traveled in Europe. 


The summer vacations have been spent in the usual way, 
loafing, hunting, fishing, sailing, “recovering from work,” 
(Collins); and one or two studying. 

A few of the remarks on the summer girl are—“ smooth;” 
BoOidnies= c=petciye, << deceitiul;” “fickle;” ““neces- 
famevile Our eter tothe. Glee Club song. “One drove 
me to steal, another to gamble, and a third to drink,” (Bee-

son); “I once played a Jekyl-and-Hyde game of winning 
one lade by sunlight, another by moonlight,—I do not go 
to the same resort any longer,” (Hamlin); and our class 
president says he falls temporarily in love with each one. 
Harmar thinks she is fine till you meet her the following 
winter. ‘Very nice if they like hammocks—never fell out 
but once” (Nelson); and Woodward philosophizes, “naught 
but vanity and false curls.” The question in regarayte 
experiences was evidently considered too impertinent to 
answer. 


We now come to that much talked of social event, the 
Civil ball, which appeared above our Winter horizon, ling- 
ered for a few days, and then disappeared. Out of 70 votes 
cast 37 were against it and 33.1n favor, ,eveiminimamt 
would have been a disgrace to the class. The civils are 
notorious enough without making them any more So,” 
(Alexander); we suggest the word “celebrated,” instead of 
“notorious.” ‘Why cert., it would have been a great suc- 
cess with Jay Gould as floor manager, Frankie Pierce as 
bouncer, and Big Jack, assisted by Miss Killbride, leading 
the german” (Hamlin). Maloney says he would have 
attended in all his glory and a plug hat. “I never miss 
any of the social events,” (Beeson).

The reasons assigned for taking the various courses are: 
meet! Gave tise for it’ (22);)“ Thought it thé best” (13); 
preaked it * (12); “Wanted to work”. (5); “Easiest” (2); 
and “most practical’ (1). A few don’t know. Hamlin 
fave obecause Hunt Selected it (no joke)”; “The best 
for ME, will benefit me in a religious way” (Manning). 
We don’t remember having heard this before, but there is 
something familiar about it. As for the religious benefit, 
we very much doubt it, judging from the shocking reply 
our boy gave to the question about vices, etc. ‘ Because 
it is the only course that escapes that beloved fossil, 
Verrill” (Sargent); “ Because the country needs brilliant 
mechanical engineers; let you know about the benefit 
later” (Huttelmaier). 


92 Valeo o2S: 


Opinions of Sheff. 


‘“The place he found beyond expression bright, 
Compared with ought on earth.” 


This quotation might be applied to most of the members 
of ’92 S., and the place found would be The Sheffield Scien- 
tific School of Yale University. Forty-one, however, 
would substitute for “beyond expression bright” the 
more elegant expression “out of sight.” Others say of 
our Alma Mater; “If you want to enjoy college life and 
get a good course, go to Sheff); if a regular Grindyeee 
to Tech. or Stevens”; “Is a: fine school compatediiy sa 
others; it’s curse 1s post-graduates as teachers”; “ Have to 
work harder than in other scientific schools, but there is 
more college life, better friends, and it is a part of Yale”; 
“Like ’g2 S., it is incomparable”; “Is tun%on “themgios 
plan, but is* not rich”; “Best in the cotintry =e meee 
every advantage, besides being a part of a great Univer- 
sity’: “Speaks for herself”; “There sare pettenmer amas 
nicer fellows and harder tasks than in other schools”; 
“Ought to make the courses one year longer >" Kaocke 
spots out of them all”; “ Queen of scientific schools, espe- 
cially with Prof. Cameron.” 


Our favorite college paper is the Record, which received 
thirty-six votes; the Wews had eighteen; Zz¢., eight, and 
the Courant, one. Our favorite daily newspaper is the New 
York Herald, which received twenty-four votes; the New 
York Tribune received twenty-two; the New York Jimes, 
eight; the Register, eight, and the New York World, four. 
Boltwood and C. M. Williams prefer the 7zmes because of 
its souring abilities; Hamlin likes the Herald best because 
“Tt is the least windy.” Caldwell likes the sa/aqma 
because it never has anything straight. 





Class Book. 93 


Maloney claims to have written some poetry, but has for- 
gotten when and why; however, he thinks that Briggs’ 
mustache was the prime factor. Boltwood says that he 
wrote some poetry once because he had a grudge against 
the Courant. Telford wrote poetry during Freshman vaca- 
tion, but was not well at the time. “I am the author of 
‘Beautiful Snow,’ but I traveled incognito when I wrote 
it’ (Beeson). 


Gignoux has set to rhyme, “A Shady Nook and a Bab- 
bling Brook”; Hamlin has written “large batches of 
poetry to his best girl, to ease large quantities of soulful 
yearnings’; Jackson was aclass poet once; Reily wrote 
something which he called poetry before he knew better; 
Woodward admits having written poetry during a fit of 
insanity; Beach and Manning have also made attempts to 
please the muses.

Class Book. 99 


“Reading (Maketh a Full Man.” 


From the fact that so many different books and authors 
receive the vote for favorite, we are led to suppose that our 
range has not been a wide one. About 70 men are fond of 
reading, one says “ passionately.” There are five, however, 
who dislike it, and four more who say “not very.” A voice 
from among the toilers in the Civil course answers, “ would 
foe nad. time.” Dickens receives 11 votes for -favorite 
author and Thackeray ro. Others are, Scott (7); Dumas 
(3); Shakspeare and Lytton, each (2); the rest include 
Hawthorne, Zola, Marion Crawford, Chaucer, Totten, Bal- 
zac, Victor Hugo, Carlisle, Bill Nye, Weisbach, &c. The 
votes on favorite book are more scattering than any of the 
others. There is evidence that Prof. Lounsbury has influ- 
enced our Select brothers to some extent in their reading. 
Henry Esmond receives four votes, the highest number for 
any one book; Ivanhoe, (3); Tales from Town ‘Topics, 
Decameron, Wandering Jew, our Mutual Friend, Ben Hur, 
Les Miserables and Lorna Doone, each (2); the ’92 S. Class 
book also has two votes, but we advise.to wait till you see 
it. Some of the other favorite books which received each 
one vote, are Barnaby Rudge, Reveries of a Bachelor (this 
by the youngest of the class), Marble Faun, Pendennis, 
Nicholas Nickleby, Bank-book (Punderford), Tale of Two 
Cities, Last Days of Pompeii, Vanity Fair, Pirate, Calculus 
- (Adams), Bleak House and Last of the Barons. 


The same diversity of taste exists in regard to poetry: 
Gray’s Elegy, (4); Lay of the Last Minstrel, Homer’s Iliad, 
and Thanatopsis, each (3); Marmion and Evangeline, each 
(2); others are Horatio at the Bridge, The Raven, Childe 
Harold, Paradise Lost, Deserted Village, and Dante’s Infer- 
no. The Curfew is Boltwood’s favorite. ‘“ Beautiful Snow,” 
(Beeson); “Telford’s Courant Epic,” (Caldwell); “ Throw

him down,’ McClosky (Alexander); “Greenland’s Icy 
Mountains,” (Baldwin); Es war Ein alter Konig” (Fray). 


Owing to the effective campaign work of Prof. Cameron, 
Napoleon secured the position of “ favorite character in his- 
tory,” with great ease, by a vote of 20 to Washington’s (11). 
Griggs, however, denies having been influenced. William 
the Silent, Richard I, Cromwell, Leonidas, Frederick the 
Great, “ Honest Abe,” R. E. Lee, Wallace, Brigham Young, 
Cleopatra, and Henry VIII, have each at least one admirer 
in our class. , 


The favorites in fiction are: Henry Esmond, Ivanhoe, 
Ben Hur, Amy Robesart, and Natty Bumpo, (2); others are 
Don Quixote, She, Kate Nickleby, Sam Weller, Becky 
Sharpe, Portia, Jean Valjean, Umslopagus, “Mr. Barnes of 
New York,” (Barnes); “Skinny the tin peddler,” (Beeson). 


In regard to that locality known as the Sheff. library, 
there is much dispute. Some deny its existence. A few 
have never heard of it. About thirty, however, claim to 
have been inside or at least to have seen the door. Slade 
once saw a book that came from it. Collins describes it as 
a “long room with books on all sides, covered with dust, 
with a long table in the centre.” The description is unique, 
but leaves one uncertain, as to the exact location of the 
table. Huttelmaier gives some valuable information in 
regard to the journey which tourists will do well to follow. 
“To get to it, you climb or stumble up innumerable flights 
of dark and crooked stairways, having first taken the pre- 
caution to fasten at the bottom a ball of twine. This is to 
guide you on your return. On entering the library (if you 
have found it), you are overwhelmed with the array of 
500,000 or more volumes of hard science, and the heavenly 
expression on the face of the fair librarian. You timidly 
state your wants. You are chained to a chair firmly 
attached to the floor, to prevent your disappearing with the 
book, and you are told to hurry up since the library will 
close in a few minutes. “Regular closing hour 12 A. M. 
Opens 9 A. M.” Carroll describes it as “a large room with 








Kaley 0220. IOI 


several books on the shelves for reference, and a gallery, 
and a step ladder to go up to it.” Jackson would describe 
it as “Carrington and a few books.” “Short and plump, 
with brown hair,’ (Harmar). We close this interesting 
subject with a detailed description by Beeson, which is so 
minute in detail that we cannot believe it a mere inven- 
tion. “As you pass in on the right, you behold a statue of 
Abe Lincoln, giving a nigger a piece of ‘liberty;’ along 
side of it is a spicket with this inscription, ‘Drop a nickel 
in the slot, and get a cold glass of beer and a frankfort. 
The row of shelves leading off to the right from this, is 
the old Cap. Collier Library. The next case contains all 
articles manufactured by the Goodyear Rubber Co., beyond 
which comes a long file of Saturday night story papers. 
Between this and the inkstand on the table isa statue of 
Benj. Franklin climbing a kite string to procure a small 
batch of electricity from the upper air. Then there isa 
batch of shelves which contain the Police Gazette, better 
known as the “Christian Advocate.” The Weekly Sport, 
Dutch Puck, and a few of Zola’s works are to the right. 
All in all, it is a very enjoyable place to spend an after- 
noon.” 


Senior Appointments. 


Adams, Ayres, Boltwood, Bouton, Briggs, Bronson, Bun- 
nell, Caldwell, W. E. Coe, W. R. Coe, Gignoux, Gordon, 
Griggs, Hamlin, Hammond, Harmar, Harris, Harsh, 
Homans, Hunt, Huttelmaier, Janeway, Lane, Merrels, Nel- 
son, Perkins, Punderford, Reily, Sterling, Stokes, Telford, 
Thomas, Walden, Wheeler, C. M. Williams, Woodward, 
Zantzinger—37. 


The number of appointments during the last eight years 
is shown in the following table: 


102 Vale oon. 


Class. No. in Class. No. of Appointments. Per Cent. of Class. 
"85 69 20 29 
86 per OX 24 39 
37 59 20 33 
88 79 22 29 
89 79 zo 27 
cere) 64 30 46 
"91 go 36 40 
92 104 37 35 


The reason our class has not the highest perecentaa. 
because 55 men did not try for appointments; only 22 claim 
to have made an effort in that direction, so it appears that 
some of us were forced to accept them. 


The reasons given for trying are “Glory,” (Boltwood); 
To please papa,” (Sterling); “To get the governor to pay 
my bills without kicking.” “Not much to get but a good 
deal to lose,” (Telford); “‘Cause she wished me to,” (Gig- 
noux); “To please dad,” (Hamlin); “Knew I conldmtes 
anything else,’ (Reily); “Did not propose to be ranked 
with the bums.” 





Politics. 


Ours is a Republican class by a heavy majority, and if 
this book should fall into the hands of James’G. Blaine, we 
have no doubt that he would reconsider his withdrawal 
from the presidential race. | 


Following is a list of the men and their party inclina- 
tions. Names of those who have voted are in italics. 


Republican—Adams, Atha, Bailey, F. E. Barbour, Barnes, 
Beach, Beeson, Bouton, 4riggs, Caldwell, Campbell, Carrol, 
W. E. Coe, Day, Denny, Fray, Goodharty Here Greene 
Griggs, Hamlin, Hammond, Harmar, Hatch, Hunt, Jackson, 





Class Book. 103 


Keith, Knapp, Zane, Law, Mandel, Manning, Massey, Mer- 
rels, Nelson, JVettleton, Nichols, Quinn, Ramsdell, Rogowskt, 
Saunders, Sargent, Sessions, Slade, Sprague, Stanley, Ster- 
ling, Thomas, Warnick, Weil, Whittemore, P. K. Williams, 
Wood, Woodward, Zantzinger—5 4. 


Democrat —Alexander, Boltwood, Collins, Ellsworth, Gor- 
don, Huttelmaier, Maher, Maloney, Meeker, Punderford, Reily 
Ricketts, Telford, Towle, Winstandley, Youmans—16. 

Independent.—Cornwall, J. S. Green, Harsh, C. M. Will- 
iams—4. 

Mugwump.—Griffing, Homans, Walden, Weiser—4. 

Abolitionist.—Baldwin. 

Anti-prohibitionist.—Gignoux. 

Farmers Alliance.—Ayres. 

“Suppression of the Liquor Traffic Party.”—W. R. Coe. 


In most cases the reason for not voting is lack of years. 
Maloney says he voted because his next door neighbor 
voted a different ticket and he wanted to offset his vote. 
“Never been naturalized,” (Alexander). 


Fifty want Protection, while thirteen are in favor of 
Free-trade, or have a leaning that way. Others want 
eau Reform, (5); Reciprocity (2), “Protected Free 
Trade” (W. R. Coe); “Home Rule for Ireland” (Kimball.) 


For favorite presidential candidate, Blaine receives 30 
votes; Cleveland, 21; Harrison, 12; Depew, 3. Belva Lock- 
wood, (Slade); Hon. A. Total Abstainer, (W. R. Coe.) 


104 Vialenoon. 


Miscellaneous. 


The characteristics which we admire in man are manli- 
ness (10), honesty (7), sand (6), determination (5), nerve 
(5), courage (3), self-control (2), generosity (2), gentleman- 
liness (2), modesty (2), self-possession (2), common sense 
(2), personal magnetism, energy, sincerity, calmness, 
soberness, amiability, self-dependence, physical develop- 
ment, “cheerful liar” (Stanley), “refer you to Bailey for 
points’; “big feet” (Caldwell), “ability to hold @avload. 
(Barnes). 

We admire in woman, beauty (13), modesty (9), virtue (6), 
tact (3), common sense (3), physical development (3), amia- 
bility (2), gentleness (2), courage, ladylikeness, sensible- 
ness, sense, fortitude, unselfishness, keeping jameces = 
refinement, faith, constancy, pleasantness, sincereness, 
vivacity, sweetness, sympathy, frank congeniality, “warm 
hands” (Gignoux), “a winning way, a pleasant smile,” 
(Denny), ‘confiding eyes” (Cornwall), “closedpace.. 
(Stanley), “Modesty which walketh not in the street by 
night nor looketh boldly upon man by day; delicacy 
which loveth not shore suppers, the popping of chan 
pagne corks, or the foaming tankards; pride which vaunt- 
eth not itself in tights or suffereth the embraces of man,” 
(Woodward); “sweet disposition,” (Nichols); “little feet,” 
(Caldwell); ‘“ Beauty and money,” (McVickar.) 


The brunette as a type of beauty, has won the hearts of 
twenty-one of our number, and according to many of the 
specifications she must be small; twelve prefer the blonde; 
Gordon likes a strawberry brunette; Kimball a bleached 
blonde; Caldwell 3-4 between brunette and blonde; Massey 
a strawberry blonde. Woodward is very precise, naming 
his type as a “brunette with clear, unfathomable blue eyes, 
rosy cheeks kissed by the twilight of a summer’s day,

graceful, nymph-like figure set off by a red fern gown, and 
dainty hands and tiny feet.” 


Reily cannot describe his, but will show us her picture; 
Bouton is undecided as to what a beautiful women is. 
some other types are, “spotted beauty,” (Goodhart); 
“dark wiry hair, brown eyes, olive complexion and peachy 
Bieckemerecasy nose aid small feet,” (Collins); “ Nydia— 
the blind girl of Pompeii,” (Wood); “short and fat—red 
hair and freckles,” (Boltwood); “Willie Coe,’ (Jackson); 
5 ft. 6in., weight 128 lbs., agreeable disposition, and she is to 
be white,” (Maloney); “I am not particular. The cast iron 
lady on Wooster Square will do,” (Telford); “ American ” 
(Hammond); “Nut brown maiden,” (Manning); “large, 
massive and voluptuous brunette,” (Graves); “tall beauty, 
medium height, blond, blue eyes, 125 to 135 lbs., number 2 
shoes, and 4 1-2 gloves, pink complexion (real), lots of hair 
and fine features,” (Sterling.) 


piextuto myself 1 should-like to be Prof. Verrill, because 
he has such a clear, cheerful view of life,” (Gordon); “Dr. 
stoeckel and Mr. Walter Damrosh,” (Cornwall); “ Brush,” 
(Sessions); “Greasy grind so that I could kill myself and 
improve humanity,” (Stanley); “ Prexy Dwight,” (Lane); 
Yreteal lady,” (Keith); “My corpse,” (Stokes); “ Weisbach,

bosom friend,” (Goodhart); “ David B. Hill,” (Law); “Ave. 
Gould. He gets along as easy as any one | know,” (Reily); 
“T am pretty well satisfied as I am,” (Thomas.) 


As to future occupation, 26 are undecided.~ Alexander, 
Beach, Gordon, H. P. Greene, Law, Mandel, Simmons, and 
Woodward, expect to go into business; Denny and Harris 
will follow banking. Briggs, Caldwell, Fray, J. S. Green, 
Massey, Merrels, and Nichols will try civil engineering.

study law. Bronson, Goodhart, Gignoux, Whittemore, 
C. M. Williams and Stokes will study medicine. Lane ex- 
pects to teach. Griggs will be an architect, and Lesinsky 
a chemist. Baldwin thinks he will probably be a mis- 
sionary. 


It is our wish that we may all attain our highest dreams 
in life as quickly, and as completely as Tracy ’go, has at- 
tained his. It was his fond desire as expressed in the ’go 
Class Book to give “lectures on bridges’ and make people 
take “copious” notes on the same. How completely his 
wish has been gratified, we need only refer to the down- 
trodden civils. 


Maloney’s highest dream is “to marry a girl I love and 
who loves me, have a comfortable home anda first mort- 
gage on the class cup.” “Tobe of some use (Nettictog: 
“To be. contented” (Towle); “To secure the Class. 
(Huttelmaier); “To have a bank account of eight figures 
with the decimal point at the right hand end” (Sterling); 
Telford dreamt once that he fell of a tenstomy aa ee: 
Hammond beats that by saying he had a dream on the 
Eifel tower. Beach would like to receive about $50,000 a 
year for loafing. Caldwell is more modest in his desires 
and merely wishes to find the man who sat on his hat. 
Wood thinks to look like McVickar is good enough for him. 
Our class president would be contented with a “pretty 
wife, children, happy home and money enough to live 
comfortably,” Yes, Frank, it does sound’ very well) aus- 
successful in the true sense” (P. K. Williams)“ Touvarey 
beauty and boodle, and live in a palatial residence with a 
lightning rod and a mortgage on it” (Reily); we suggest 





Class Book. 107 


that he go West. “To be a manin every sense,of the word ”’ 
(Hatch); “To repay my father for his care of me ” (Lesins- 
ky); A most worthy wish, and we doubt not, one that is 
already attained. “To grow fat, happy and rich ” (Stan- 
ley); we congratulate him on his success thus far. Briggs 
wants to build a fence around the earth and get behind it. 
“To fit myself to do some good in the world,” (Hunt); 
“To be the last man having a chance for the class cup,” 


(Fray). 


We are responsible for forty-three broken engagements, 
for twelve men admit that they have been engaged forty- 
four times, one alone being still faithful. Reily answers, 
““T have never been engaged, but on the dead quiet the 
ferrevare enritely responsible.” “Hope *to be in the 
Autumn” (Hunt); we do not see why you should be 
ashamed to confess that you are, Hunt. Manning says that 
he has been engaged, but has forgotten whether he is at 
present. Punderford is almost engaged. 


Twenty-four of us are very affectionately disposed to- 
ward the fair sex, two are undecided in their opinion, 
while the remainder seem to consider the subject too deli- 
cate for them to dwell upon. Jackson says: “They are too 
expensive.” ‘“ Woman at the best is only a contradiction,” 
(Boltwood). “ All women are deceitful to a greater or less 
degree,” (Weiser). “Couldn’t do without them,” (Kimball). 
“Are essential to man’s happiness,’ (Maloney). “Very 
good opinion; my mother was a lady,” (Hunt). We think 
that he has other reasons. “All things must give place 
when there isa woman in the case,” (Bunnell). “A neces- 
sary evil,” (Law). ‘Few are fair, many fly, fewest of all 
attractive.” (C. M. Williams). “In the words of the his- 
torian, they are the only heavenly bodies whose orbits 
have never been determined,” (Griffing). 


Woodward says that he desires to enter the state of matri- 
mony, because “I do not believe in hiding your light under 
a bushel;” Telford, because, “I am lonely;” Manning, 


& 


108 Vales o2e9: 


“Nay, Nay, Punline! Poor, lonely man;” Coe, “idem 
want to be a bachelor, but Verrill says Imust;” C. M. Will- 
iams, “I want some one to sew on buttons.” 


The prospects of entering “In holy wedlock bands” are 
nil for (42) of our number; however, Woodward has his 
eye on the personal column of the Herald. 


The more fortunate (?) members of our class are Stokes who 
says his are satisfactory; “fair,” (Briggs and Quinn); “ good 
opening for next year,’ (Hamlin); “good,” (Saunders); 
“excellent!” (Hunt); “can be married any time, (2a eaas. 
“very good,’ (Beeson); “smooth,” (Mannine )ti eas. 
(Maher); “out of sight,” (Beach); “booming,” (Weiser); 
“none better,’ (Kimball); “excellent,” (Grigese@igaaess 
Carrol, Sterling, Sargent, Warnick,:-H. P. GreenesG@ierame 
Nichols); and Cornwall says, with sublime nerve, “I shall 
have to go into a convent to escape them.” 


Of the forty-two whose prospects are poor, the following 
prefer to remain in their present bachelor state: Jackson, 
Griffing, F. E. Barbour, Denny,Winstandley, (“so as to come 
home at any time,”) Ayres, Harmar, Beeson, Alexander, 
Walden, Law, Meeker, Barnes, Collins, McVickar, Lesinsky, 
Boltwood, Massey and Coe. Some of those who have stated 
that their prospects were good, are hard hearted enough to 
say that they prefer to remain bachelors. 


The result of the foot-ball games last year, is considered 
by seven the pleasantest event during their college life. 


Hunt, F. H. Barbour, Button, Williams, Nichols and 
Cornwall enjoyed the Junior Prom. more than any other 
event, while Law, Stoddard and Hatch think that the 
Arion Ball afforded them their greatest pleasure. Others 
are, ‘Entrance into Senior year,” (Sessions); “ Bonfires on 
Sheff. campus,” (Stanley); “When Prof. Clark said, “Well 
er,—yes,—er, taking everything into consideration, you 
passed,’” (Briggs); ‘“ Drinking bock beer,” (Mandel); “ Fin- 
ishing German,” (Jackson); “When Cornwall. wore his

the world can neither give nor take away,” (Reily); “enter-

As to the most unpleasant events of the college course, 
Button and Thomas mention examinations. Nichols, Corn- 
wall, Sessions and McVickar refer us to their conditions 
as being the most disagreeable. The tenor of Nettle- 
ton’s college life has been so even that he has neither 
met with an event more pleasant nor with one less 
pleasant than another. Others say, “ When we finished

Freshman year is considered easiest by fifty-four; seven- 
teen think Junior the easiest; and fourteen, Senior. Fifty- 


Class Book. III 


four consider Senior year the hardest; twenty-one, Junior; 
and ten, Freshman. 


The studies which troubled us the most are: Geology 
(16), Weisbach (12),Mechanics (10), Physics (7), Calculus (7), 
English History (4), Steam Engine (3), French (3), Descrip- 
tive Geometry (3), German (2), Zoology, Organic Chemis- 
try, Freshman mathematics, Junior English, History, 
Strains in Structures, Constitutional Law, Physiology, 
Saintsbury, Astronomy and Drawing. For the easiest 
study Botany received (38) votes, French (16), Strains in 
Structures (3), Calculus (3), Analytics (3), Hydraulics (2), 
Physical Geography (2), Constitutional Law (2), Descrip- 
tive Geometry (2), “ Poly-Con,”’ Geology, Mineralogy, 
Chaucer, English History, and Physics. 


The most useful studies, in our opinion, are: ‘“ Poly- 
Con” (9), Strains in Structures (7), Physics (4), Chemistry 
(4), Constitutional Law (4), Mechanics of Materials 
(3), Calculus (3), Senior English (3), German (3), Mechanics 
(2), Surveying (2). Others are: Mechanical drawing (2), 
Physiology (2), English History, Electricity, Machine 
Design, Physical Geography, Shakespeare, and Botany. 
Collins thinks that ‘Least Squares” is the most useful, 
because it shows you the probability of winning when 
shaking dice with Lew Stoddard. ‘ My most useful studies 
have been carried on independently of the course,” (Grif- 
fing). Barnes thinks that Calculus is the most useful 
because it is so much needed during Senior year. ‘Chem- 
istry taught me what would rid the world of Slade’s dog,” 
(Walden). “German is the most useful, because I can 
order drinks of a German barkeeper; also it is useful at 
the Arion Ball,” “Zoology, because I now know that it is 
not safe to eat pork or oysters ” (Reily.) 


‘The present marking system suits twenty-three, while 
the same number are dissatisfied with it. Thirty think 
that it could be improved upon, eight think that it could 
not, and eight others confess that they know nothing 
about it. Jackson says that he never has been able to un-

derstand it. Cornwall sends us something in the shape of 
an amendment which the governing board may have 
on application. Whittemore thinks that if neither cuts 
nor flunks were counted the system would be perfect. 


Thirty-four men acknowledge that they have answered 
at lectures for other men than themselves, twenty-four 
having made their answers at Zoology lecture. The 
greatest number answered for-in one lecture was fifty 
(Keith); Nettleton says that he has answered for one man 
at every lecture. 


For the favorite lecturer Prof. Hastingsirecem equa:

«The capacity of the human mind for resisting the introduction 
of knowledge is truly wonderful.” 


Very few of our brains have been agitated by startling 
ideas, according to the answers to question 41. But we 
didn’t expect a full set of answers, we are.not going to 
give away our bright ideas, but will spring them on the 
world some day. Some of the unique thoughts that have 
occurred to us are as follows:—“ How much better off the 
school would be if the electrical course was called by some 
other name,” (Knapp); “Thotight | might somerd aoe. 
heavy enough to make the crew—origin unknown,” (Malo- 
ney); “Once thought I could rush Verrill,”’ (Boltwood); 
“The only startling idea I ever had was when Bailey’s 
horse dropped dead at the Yale field; was this a horse on 
Bailey or on the field?” (Sargent); “I got it into my head 
I could break Phil. Daly’s bank—origin Morpheus,” (Bee- 
son); “Was going to invent a perpetual motion machine,” 
(Maher); “ Thought I might pinch an appointment,” (Man- 
ning); “That I would get through Sheff. without condi- 
tions,” (Slade); “That the Aurora Borealis is a sign of the 
destruction of the earth,” (Hunt).

As to our cerebral development, we nearly all admit that 
itis poor. Slade says his is not as great visibly as Bailey’s 
or Zantzinger’s. 


Shall we wearcaps and gowns? Out of ninety-six votes 
cast, fifty-five are in favor of them; twenty-eight are not; 
eleven do not say; ong is undecided. 


The average time of rising is 7:10 a. m., but the time of 
retiring varies so between to-day and to-morrow, that we 
are not able to calculate it. Boltwood says, ‘‘ When I have 
that tired feeling.” Several try sleeping when there is 
nothing else to do. Thomas says Sterling goes to bed 
regularly at 8:30. 


Huttelmaier would rather not give his hours, as the cops 
have their eyes on him at present. 


Greatest weakness is for the ladies, (10); laziness, (5); 
“ Cutting recitations,” (Whittemore); “A desire to attend 
all recitations,” (Griggs); ‘“ Love for Weis (bock),” (Win- 
standley); “Being too good natured,” (Day); “Lack of 
Gall,” (Lane); “An unholy joy at seeing Adams flunk.” 
“A love for strong drink,” by a deacon. Most of us have 
no strong points. Punderford says, “My nose;” “My 
breath at midnight,” (Ayres); “Pay all my bills,” (Bald- 
win); “Love of rest,” (Winstandley).

Soldiers and Rumors of Soldiers. 





He must be blind indeed who, during the past few 
months, has not perceived that “the irrepressible military 
enthusiasm of ’92 S.,’ so long anticipated by historians, 
has at last appeared upon Hillhouse Avenue. The year 
1892 has been the cynosure of military preparation at Yale 
University, and, outstripping all other classes in the race 
to reach that particular year in “full marching order,” we 
find the Academics and Sheffs. in the van, but not much 
outstripping West Point, whom the latest advices report to 
have also taken up.the new drill regulations for infantry. 





Class Book. 115 


SOLDIERS ARE IMMINENT. 


The consensus of mankind is not astray in its anticipa- 
tions; the common mentality never is upon any great 
question. In modern days we have its inerrant barometer 
in the public press, and there is not a standard journal in 
Fair Haven which of late has not voiced the general senti- 
ment that the military spirit at Yale is constantly increas- 
ing. The fact is we are pre-eminently in the era of “ru- 
mors of soldiers.” Indeed, we are already in that of 
“soldiers not a few.” 


But the soldiers of the past decade have been mere skel- 
etons in comparison with those (’92 S.) upon the docket at © 
@resent. You will note that they have thus far been 
among the smaller classes which have preceded ours—a 
fact, however, which has its clear significance. Coming 
classes cast their eyes about them, and these drills around 
the surface of the armory may be looked upon as mere 
experiments in a very dismal sort of “soldier making.”’ 


Meanwhile the “rumors of soldiers” has penetrated the 
greater and more powerful department of the University 
and the situation is constantly becoming more interesting. 


RECENT MILD EXCITEMENTS. 


Among these “rumors of soldiers” even we have had 
our mild excitements. For instance, the recent landing— 
let us call it an innocent one, but certainly a most sugges- 
tive one—of Telford’s library on the table in No. 52 which 
created universal excitement. It was a mere bluff, but it 
was a fact, and it had an instantaneous effect upon all pres- 
ent. The little cloud soon cleared away, but was followed 
by another, reviving the plan of Massasoit, who tied a 
bull’s tail to his jeans and called himself a buck. It is 
now authoritatively stated that when Cornwall appeared 
with his cap in Prof. Farnam’s room he almost created a 
stampede among the Selects. 


We shall devote the remainder of the space alloted to 
this subject, to the personal opinions of the members of 


116 VGlentO2559. 


our class regarding the military organization. The opin- 
ions turned in and not printed, in addition to their regular 
remarks, are of intrinsic value, and would do credit to a ° 
regular bureau of nonsense. w. A. L. B. 


According to fully one-half of the class the military 
organization is a great success, only eighteen thinking 
that it is useless. Eight claim that it has inspired them 
with warlike feelings. Very few are in favor of uniforms. 
One man claims that our company was the means of cool- 
ing Chili down. Hamlin styles the organization “a bag 
of wind, large and fully inflated.” Boltwood suggests a 
hand-organ as an improvement. Our soldiers strike 
Graves as “a nice lot of little boys who look asif they _ 
would like to go out west and kill Indians.” Knapp says 
that he has become so inspired with war that he is danger- 
ous. Hamlin had some fiery feelings, but they speedily 
disappeared upon seeing Cornwall with his cap. The band 
has had no impression on Jackson, as he always feels war- 
like. Hunt thinks that uniforms would be a good thing 
for those who want them, but he does not care for them 
himself. 


Would you have thought it? With the exception of 
twenty-seven (not including Miller, who did not answer 
the questions) all members of ’925., are too modest tq give 
afrank opinion of themselves. Of course we did not ex- 
pect that allwould have the sand; but it seems strange 
that Pond, Quinn, J.Green, Perkins, Merrels Neg ca 
Meeker, Homans and Carrol should be afraid to say some- 
thing about themselves. Briggs says “lf 1 weréia ieee 
shorter I would be out of sight.” This is truevandmwe 
would add that if he does not stop scrapping, the same 
result will be brought about in another way. Jackson 
claims to be the best singer who 1S not On themes

who are not on the Glee Club. “I am neat but not gaudy” 
fitamiin); “I have come to the conclusion that Iama 
d—n fool” (F. E. Barbour). We fail to see what has 
brought Frank to such a terrible conclusion; must we re- 
mind him of the scores at Springfield and New York last 
November? “ Lacking in better principles—am generally 


footless”” (Hatch). “Not such an idiot as the man who 
wrote these questions” (Kimball). “Can’t do myself 
gaemice ~( Weiser). Even Nichols is too modest. “It has 


taken perseverance for me to come into a strange city 
among those younger than myself and having better ad- 
vantages, and study until I left the High Schoolin one year 
and Sheff.in three. I hope that the determination which 
has helped me todo this will make sucha person out of 


me that I will not have studied in vain” (Hunt). “Just 
the stuff” (Maher). ‘Too young, too small and too insig- 
nificant” (Manning).  ‘“ Prof. Cameron thinks I am very 


modest” (Boltwood). Why don’t you speak for yourself, 
Boltwood? “ About as footless and conceited (vain) as they 
make them” (Gignoux). “A great many bad points but a 
few good ones. A little above the average man of my age 
but not the cock of the walk” (Thomas). ‘ Would be wast- 
ing too much paper” (Simmons), and Maloney too, ‘ Mod- 
esty overcomes and paper fails.” ‘Pretty dead smooth. 
My religion is Esoteric Buddhism” (Telford). ‘“ About as 
smooth as they make them” (Barnes). “I don’t want to 
give myself away, for I am much more clever than is gen- 
erally supposed, and envy and jealousy would be aroused, 
so I shall keep still” (Button). “Iam handsome, bright, 
generous and ought to be president some day ” (Sterling).

The avenue’s faded and dreary, 
The cafes are silent and hot; 
The gloom of the club makes me weary, 
The drive in the park is a blot; 
I live in profuse perspiration, 
But, still, I’m content with my lot, 
And the meaning of this strange elation 
Is, that I’m here, while Tracy is not.

I notice that this book which we are using—when I 
ordered it I picked it out because it was better than any 
other I had seen—although it wasn’t perfect at all, but it 
explained some points very well for beginners—I am sorry 
though that the author is a little vague in places+he 
doesn’t always explain his conventions as he should,—well, 
he calls the tangent of go°, infinity—we all know, of course, 
that there is no such thing,—we can’t have a tangent with 
an infinite value, it’s nonsense, we might as well call the 
tangent of 9o°,—fudge! 


Now, Mr. , why do you differentiate that by the 
long method when you have a short one given in the 
book. I lose my patience at such a way of doing things. 
It s like killing flies with ten-pounders.

Geology Notes. 


_ I’ve had classes for twenty-five years in this subject and 
they have always succeeded in learning enough to put up 
a good recitation. Of course there are always dunces in 
every class. I expect that. I have known that there are 
men who don’t care a fig whether they learn anything or 
don’t learn anything. But I have known men to have had 
their degrees withheld because they hadn’t passed their 
final examination in Geology. I make these remarks in 
_ order to show you what I think about such men who go 
along so shilly shally. They’re no more than a pack of 
blockheads and they deserve to be treated like school chil- « 
dren. How any man with a tea-cup full of brains could 
manage to forget a little simple name like Stromatopera- 
brachiospongia-scaphiocrinus-Californiense is more than I 
can understand. It’s simply absurd. 


A Geological Story. 


There is a very remarkable locality up there off the coast 
of Nova Scotia. It’s a place where two currents meet and 
form still water. Almost any time you may-see swarms of 
fishing boats catching the herring which frequent those 
waters in vast shoals. They are attracted there by a small 
sea animal of a pinkish color, which is so plentiful as 
to give the water a pink tinge. Then there are also great 
quantities of whales which come after the herring and 
mingle sociably with the fishing boats. Once ina while a 
boat will slide down into a whale’s mouth, but the men 
brace their oars against the whale’s wisdom teeth and 
push themselves out with great ease. (Sensation). Well, 
a whale knows the difference between a mouthful of her- 
ring and a wooden boat.

And why, Mr. Kimball, are the French the best letter 
writers in the world ?—Yes ?—that is very complimentary. 
Mr. Kimball—but—now, gentlemen, starting with our fun- 
damental principle that history repeats itself, and that the 
French are the greatest philosophers, the greatest orators, 
the greatest comedians, the greatest poets, the greatest 
warriors, the greatest diplomats and the greatest courtiers 
the world has ever produced, why is it that they should have 
developed a literature such as the world has never seen, 
more than a thousand years ago, while our rude Saxon an- 
cestors were still roaming about clothed in the skins of 
beasts? It wild is this, gentlemen,— ——!

And what is a Bacchanalian, Mr. Fray? I think it’s a 
kind of religious controversy. 


Can any one explain the difference between steel and 
iron? Yes sir, I think steel is to iron what a man is to a 
baby. 

And the flies on the wall wagged their heads. 


Prof. Lounsbury—(two weeks after reading Milton’s 
“Verses on Cromwell”), Bailey, who was this Oliver 
Cromwell that is referred to here? | 

Bailey—I think he was an officer in the English army, 
in the time of Edward the Seventh, sir. 

Prof. Lounsbury—lIf you are not careful, Bailey, you will 
remember something you have been over, and, by the way, 
I think if you will take your feet off the back of that seat, 
you will find that the floor is sufficiently able to support 
them. (Enter Cornwall, who falls into a seat), Cornwall, 
can you explain this point? (a pause), Coe, will you wake 
up Cornwall ? 

One of Prof. Farnam’s afternoon receptions. (Enter 
Cornwall at 3:20 wearing his new soldier cap, which he 
forgets to remove ’till the door is carefully closed). 

Prof. Farnam—Mr. Cornwall, the first duty of a soldier, 
I believe, is promptitude. Is it not? 

(The loud laughter of the class is not sufficient to arouse 
Cornwall, who has sunk into a deep and peaceful slumber).

In the department for Clothing to order will always be

in desirable patterns, giving the fullest opportunity for selection. 

In speaking particularly of our Ready-made stock, we may 
remind customers that we have special facilities for obtaining 
the best qualities and the newest designs; that, in the cutting 
and making up of our garments we exercise particular care to 
avoid the stiffness and awkwardness of appearance which so 
frequently characterize ready-made clothing; that all noticeable 
patterns are limited to small quantities; and that we endeavor 
to exclude every style, fabric, and cut which can be easily 
imitated in inferior grades of goods. 

Evening Dress Suits and Ulsters for all seasons always 
in stock ready-made. 

Our furnishing Department offers a most complete assort- 
ment in that line including the proper shades in Gloves and 
Scarfs, Allen, Solly & Co.’s Hosiery and Underwear, and the 
best makes of Waterproof Coats.
